Best Things Nearby:
This resort had an amazing selection of restaurants nearby that would cater to just about anyone’s personal taste. The Hyatt is also located right off the northeast side of Lake Tahoe providing a lot of entertainment for the entire family during the summer months. My husband and I are currently not avid down hill skiers but we heard from both the guests and the staff that there were some excellent ski hills within a 20-minute drive from the resort.
Best Things About the Resort:
There are a large number of very affordable restaurants right on the premises making it easy to grab a bite for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Also the casino located on the lobby floor is not the biggest I've ever seen but the staff here is the most friendly my husband and I have ever encountered. Most of all, my husband and I both enjoyed the small town feel of Incline Village, which is commonly called by some locals "The Riviera of Lake Tahoe." We were advised at one point during our stay that most of the houses, condos and timeshares average a price of at least a half a million dollars making this a very nice neighborhood indeed
Resort Experience:
We arrived to the Reno area early in the afternoon and after a 30-minute drive, we had climbed over the pass and were currently looking for Country Club Drive, which was where our hotel, the Lake Tahoe Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa, was located. After a bit of turning this way and that we finally located the parking lot that almost resembled a forest with all the massive pine trees scattered here and there and headed to the lobby to check in.
This resort from the front is very rustic as the entrances are made of river rock and what looked like cedar shingles and resembles an old-fashioned ski lodge. As we entered immediately to our left I took notice of the well-staffed concierge desk, the check in desk straight ahead and then to our right a small gift shop and also the entrance to the casino. Of course since we were mainly interested in getting checked in we walked over to one of the many resort desk clerks that were available.
The great thing about checking in early and on a Thursday was not only how empty the lobby was therefore reducing wait time but also there were many rooms available on the Regency Club Floors which not only have controlled access and better rooms, but also includes hors d’oeuvres and cocktails in the evening and a really good continental breakfast in the morning. So after being told it would only add an additional twenty dollars onto our room cost we agreed and were on our way up to our room on the 12th floor. One of the first things I noticed as we walked through the hallway to our room was how quiet it was. We barely heard the other guests from inside our room throughout our entire stay.
We entered our room and were amazed at the luxurious comfort our room offered. The closet looked as if it was made out of cedar and included two comfy, spa quality terry cloth robes. The humongous kind size bed was covered with a down filled comforter. The bathroom was pretty much an average size however it did boast some of the nicest shampoos, conditioners, and lotions that I have ever seen. There was also a nice sitting area right next to our window where a view of the snow capped mountains and steaming hot tub and heated swimming pool waited for us each morning. I have to admit this was one of the most comfortable rooms that I have ever been in. All in all this was one of the most wonderful, magical resorts I have ever been to.
