We stayed at the Hyatt Pier 66 from April 5-8, 2007. Based on some of the review I had read, I was leary about what we were getting into. The hotel was VERY nice! We had two rooms in the tower which were adjoining. The tower rooms seem to be more updated than the Lanai rooms and are larger. The Lanai rooms, however, are closer to the pool. One had a king bed room and the other two Queens. The double room was very large....much larger than a King room. They both had nice size balconies and great views. We faced the marina/ocean and in fact from our King room we could also see the Port. So great views all around!
The only negative about the hotel was the fact that one of the elevators was not operating and it sometimes was a long wait. Our rooms were on the 9th floor, so walking up was not the greatest option.
The food was also very pricey, but that is to be expected in any resort type hotel.
The pool area was very nice, nice covers for the lounge chairs.
Overall we were very happy with our accomodations, the staff was friendly and I would stay here again!

  • Liked — great view and enjoyed looking at all the boats in the marina
  • Disliked — the fact that one elevator was out of service the entire time :(

Mold Problem

We stayed with our then seven-month old baby at the Hyatt Pier 66 for a wedding in July, 2005. The room we were placed in was extremely dark and dank and had a terrible odor. Overnight, my daughter, husband and I developed sore throats, headaches, red eyes and nasal problems. The next morning we found mold growing everywhere - all over the walls, ceiling, even on the hotel book in the room! We went to the main desk to report this very obvious health hazard and asked to be moved to a new room. The hotel staff could have cared less. We asked for a manager and were informed that there were no other rooms in our category and that we would have to PAY to move into a tower room!! The manager also informed us that the room was slated to be condemed the following week. They already knew about the mold problem and still put us and our baby in there!! We were simply horrified by this. After much haranging, we were moved to the tower, which was much nicer - but sniffled our way home the following morning. We considered filing a lawsuit and probably should have.

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency after hours of internet surfing for a resort experience in Florida. The hotel was beautful, the pool area is particularly nice. Although I am a beach lover, I did not want to leave the pool. They were a little short staffed Easter week, but the waitresses worked hard at the pool. Our room was small but nice King Bed and bedding was soft. Our backyard was the intracoastal with 100 ft yachts docked there.

The breakfast buffet was pricey, $22. per person, but very good. The staff was very nice and helpful. Other guests that stayed in the tower were complaining of bed bugs, but we did not experience that. All in all, I would definitely go back there.

3/3 found this review helpful

4 adult guys stayed here in a two bedroom suite beginning 2/16. The room looked old and unkempt. No keys for the wetbar that was locked. The hot tub outside by the pool was cold.

The hot tub in the spa, where we all got massages, was not working the first day and it was cold on the second. On the first day the steamroom was broken and did not work. The sauna room door did not close tight.

In the larger room with the couches there was a 17" tv--although the bedrooms had flat screens. There is no reason to put hi-def tvs in a room if you don't have a hi-def signal--so the reception on the hi-def tvs was lousy. Water pressure in the showers was terrible. Tiny refrigerator for a two room suite.

The airconditioning didn't work very well either. We would never stay here again--they were charging us $700+a night!

Makes you wonder if Hyatt checks its properties because so much was wrong it couldn't have been missed.

We stayed @ the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six while my husband was in Ft. Lauderdale on business. Overall I would say the stay was above average. The property is beautiful. When we checked in the staff was polite and the process went quickly. Our room in the terrace area was ready and we did get a nonsmoking king as requested. The room had been recently updated and had plenty of room with a balcony that overlooked the pool area. The only problem with this location was that there is no carpeting in these rooms and they are set up "motel-style" with the entry doors being outside vs in a corridor. Every time someone would move a chair, or close the door you are able to hear it. I can only imagine that this is amplified on the 1st level as we were on the 2nd. These rooms also are right along the marina and parking which was very convenient. I spent the 1st day @ the pool which had plenty of room and provided towels and chair covers free of charge (there is a $12/day resort fee and parking is also $18/day). They had music playing and a restaraunt available, which I did not try. After our 2nd night I called the front desk to see if we could be moved due to the noise. I got some run around and they offered me free breakfast, but the only other rooms available were in the same area. After a visit to the front desk, my husband was able to get our room changed to the tower. Joanna at the desk was very accomodating and even allowed him to take a look at the room 1st. This room was very large with a balcony that overlooked the port. It was at the end of the hall and although next to the ice machine was very quiet. The bedding in both locations was very comfortable. They also gave us free coupons for the breakfast buffet, which was very good. The only other experience we had with the restaurants on the property was the pelican bar. This is just a short walk through the marina and is right on the water. It is a small, casual area with a limited menu. My husband and I each had 2 beers, we had an order of shimp coctail and an order of hummus and the bill was $50. I found that all of the restaraunts seemed to be pricey as was the hotel overall. We booked through the hotel directly and paid over $1000 for 4 nights. They do have a free shuttle to the beach, but other than that there is nothing to do close to the hotel. There are some bars and things within a few miles. Overall comfortable, nice, but pricey.
