Orlando Florida has long been a favourite for young and old. The sunshine state which it is often referred to, with its year round sunshine and a plethora of world famous attractions and theme parks makes it a must visit with or without the family! Mum will love the shopping malls and discount outlets, dad will love outdoor world where you can leave him exploring all day and the kids will love Universal Studios and Disney world. There really is something for everyone! The perfect base to explore Orlando and its attractions is the fabulous Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. When you enter the sprawling complex and lush gardens you feel immediately cocooned in your luxurious surroundings.
The hotel has an expansive pool complex featuring slides, numerous large pools and bridges and caves interlinking them all. Tucked away under one of the waterfalls is an impressive gym and even a laundry room and games room! If you still have energy left after a full day of parks and shopping then you could take a boat out on the large onsite boating lake or even a round of golf at the Jack Nicklaus designed golf course. Not forgetting the Marilyn Monroe spa for some much needed pampering after a hard days shopping.
When booking be sure to ask for a high floor. The views over to Disney world right next to the hotel, gives you a birds eye view of the nightly fireworks display. A sight you never tire of! You also get the privilege of witnessing some jaw dropping sunsets. We have visited now several times in July. With the high heat of summer, it can bring spectacular thunder storms but they normally clear quickly. This can disrupt the smooth running of the theme parks and its roller coasters however due to the risk of lighting strikes. Be sure to do your research to see what time of year best suits your needs as the height of summer is super hot. The high humidity could be tough going for some over July and August. We love the heat though so high season is not a problem. It also helps that The Grand Cypress has brilliant air conditioning in all the rooms and public areas.
The hotel rooms are well finished, with large modern bathrooms and good power showers and products. When lying by the pool be sure to head to the pool bar and get yourself a bucket of beers to cool down and try their Buffalo wings, Awesome stuff!
The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress is located around twenty minutes drive from Orlando international airport. The Hyatt hotel chain also offers a rewarding loyalty scheme. We will be back to see you guys soon!
