We just returned from a wonderful 4-day, 3-night stay and it couldn't have been better. Our ocean view room was beautiful -- very spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was especially roomy and well-lit. Although the beach was across the busy Pacific Coast Highway, the hotel has a private walkway over the highway that gives you easy access to the beach. The staff was the friendliest we have ever encountered in travelling. The resort is very family oriented as is the community of Huntington Beach. The pier is about a 15-20 minute walk along the beach from the hotel. Don't miss breakfast or lunch at Ruby's Diner at the end of the pier. We also enjoyed Duke's for a casual dinner. Disneyland is an easy 15 minute drive from the hotel. This is a great vacation spot. We look forward to returning.

My wife and I went here for our 10 year anniversary on the end of my business trip in Long Beach. We booked our 4 night stay through American Airlines vacations. The hotel was state of the art in design and impeccably clean.

We were given an outstanding full ocean view room with balcony on the second floor without requesting it. The bed was huge and comfortable with its plush feather comforter, feather mattress cover and fine linens. Shiny marble covered the bathroom floors and our walk in shower that could fit a family. The large walk in closet, which was lighted by a motion sensor easily fit our clothes and goods from shopping. We found it hard to find an excuse to leave between the fresh squeezed orange juice at the Californian, seemingly hidden and private hot tubs in the 3rd grotto, the large fire pit in the 2nd grotto, casual fireplace lit family rooms in the hallways, a clean professionally run spa, Spanish style fountains throughout and a friendly, eager to serve staff.

The only thing that annoyed me was the $20 daily valet fee, which was your only option as I didn't see any general parking. If you need to get away from it all in a luxurious atmosphere and don't mind spending the coin then I highly recommend staying here.

My wife and I just returned from our 15 year anniversary weekend at the HYATT and had the best time ever. The hotel is meticulous and the staff is courteous and polite. Our room was absoloutly gorgeous. We stayed on the club level and were extremely happy with the concierge. We had dinner at the Californian and the food was wonderful. We usually always try to stay at a Hyatt when we go away and we have never been dissapointed! Definitly use the spa services while you are there. The spa is extremely clean and relaxing.

Clearly one of the nicest hotels we have ever had the opportunity to stay in. Attention to detail is incredible, the walkways were steam cleaned daily in the early morning. We arrived on a somewhat slow weekday and received a complimentary upgrade to an end unit full oceanfront room(Gold Hyatt Member). However the grounds are so lush that most all rooms appear to have nice views and all have balconies. We ate twice at the hotel both at the casual dining surf-oriented restaurant. Food was good though pricey. We had billing issues with restaurant charges but management handled to our satisfaction. Pool has large outdoor gas fire pit great for relaxing or toasting marshmellos in the evening. Staff was very accomodating. All hotel amenities Spa, Fitness Center, Tennis Courts, etc. are state of the art (hotel opened Jan. 2003). Be sure to walk to the pier(just under 1 mile) and up Main Street for shops and restaurants. The Sugar Shack is a very popular breakfast destination. The hotel's location makes it very accessible to Anaheim, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach among other popular So. LA destinations. We would very highly recommend this hotel and would plan on staying longer on our next visit.
