Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort, Orlando
Expert reviews
“Probably the most complete resort campus near Disney, the stepped tower packs every conceivable amenity into a lush 1,500-acre campus located practically within Walt Disney World.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Orlando.
“Sitting amid 1,500 palm-filled acres just outside Disney’s back gate, this 18-floor luxury resort hotel has a private lake with watercraft, four golf courses, and miles of trails for strolling, bicycling, and jogging.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Orlando.
“Considering the proximity to Disney’s Magic Kingdom (7 miles) and Universal Resort Orlando (8 miles), plus the quality of the rooms, service, grounds and amenities, this atrium-style resort is one of the best-value options in Orlando.”
“Orlando’s original luxury hotel in 1984. This has been continually refreshed to keep it one of the most expansive and distinctive choices in central Florida. Its monolithic high-rise style gives way inside to a rich, detail-orientated approach, with a dazzling array of activities and outstanding dining choice.”

Excellent place
Great hotel. Parrot Merlot made a welcoming environment even more special. Dinner was superb with Japanese cuisine and delicious desserts.
Room furniture and bathroom amenities would need some refreshing. Also, breakfast could have more choice.

It is a lovely place to stay with lots of options!
Have come for years. We like that it is away from Disney. Good restaurants. Service staff is super good. I had to be hospitalized and your staff was supportive in every way.
No big deal but room blaming by 3 would be nice.

It was amazing but wish we could have done more stuff.
That it was a resort and it was absolutely beautiful.
That we had to check in so late in the day.

Thank you from the Vosses!
We absolutely loved Tim and Merlot. He took time to talk to us a while and let us get pictures. We looked forward to seeing Merlot in the mornings on his perch. We also LOVED Brian, the bartender and the Lakehouse restaurant. We made it a point to buy all our drinks from him as we wandered the resort. He was super attentive, hilarious, very awesome. We Loved the bikes and paddle boats. We used both. And even though we only had 20 minutes till the bikes closed up, the gentleman let us go anyway. He could have said no. That was very cool of him and we made sure to be back on time for him. Wish we remembered his name. We LOVED the waterfall hot tub. It was fabulous. We genuinely completely enjoyed our stay. It was our first wedding anniversary and we haven’t stopped telling everyone all about it. We travel at least 2-3 times a year and this was one of the best stays.
I have zero complaints. Breakfast was a little overpriced and the eggs were a little.. wet. But honestly it wasn’t a big deal. It’s the only negative I could recall.

Good location for a short stay for the parks but not any longer. Looked and fed like
Good location, bus transfer to parks.
Needs an upgrade as it’s looking tired. There has been something spilt on the carpet in the main room that made the carpet sticky and sandy. Shower head in the bathroom was more like a trickle than a stream of water.

An excellent hotel resort, perfect for vacations, conferences and weddings, set in beautiful grounds
Superb in all areas. Amazing swimming pool with rock waterfalls and swim through caves Staff excellent and even remembered our regular drinks.
21 November 2024
A wonderful property. Just wonderful
The pool area was amazing. Waterfalls, waterslides, several acres of pool. Even an outdoor movie at night over the pool.
Although I had hdcp parking next to the hotel, the self park was really far away for regular drivers.
19 November 2024
Very good
It’s a grand hotel with beautiful well maintained grounds and garden. Its spacious lobby ensures it never feels too busy.
The car parking charges are outrageous. $50+ for valet parking plus tips over and above makes self parking more affordable even @$35+ but with such long walks to the lobby with the slopes makes it hard for those of us who are getting old.

All in all we will be back!!!
I like the fact that you don’t really need to leave the resort they have plenty to do on property.
I don’t like the fact you have to pay for parking I understand valet but there should be a free closer parking area for those who choose not to use valet
3 November 2024
Would definitely recommend.
The staff, room and facilities were excellent. Amazing choice of swimming pools and all to a high standard. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. Food was very good and service couldn’t be faulted.
Car parking is very expensive, self parking at $36 a day. Some of the pool furniture needed replacing as it was broken and was a safety hazard.
9 October 2024
Great time. I would stay again.
Great staff, pool, bar, restaurants. Very clean. Great location. Everyone was so nice.
Parking is a hike and valet is $$$. When you add the resort fee and parking fee it adds quite a bit. I would rather have it all included in one price.

It was overall good hotel met our needs for one night.
Beautiful grounds and pool, lobby. Bar restaurant was good!
Beds were not comfortable, very firm. Staff at front desk were short with us. Hotel is getting dated-feels like it was the spot in the 90s.

The only resort that has everything you need to make a perfect time for your family
Everything! It is literally the most complete and beautiful resort I have ever visited in the United States... it has everything you need for a vacation... beautiful pool, bikes, boats, golf, cinema, climbing, absolutely everything perfectly synchronized.
The cost of parking is a bit high

Bathroom was too small. The combined barndoor to closet and bathroom is not a good idea. The openness to the toilet without it being private is not good. Only one sink in the bathroom is not good.
23 September 2024
Beautiful and lots of fun
The staff was friendly and welcoming. We loved all the amenities the property has to offer. The pool is amazing. The overall feel of the property and aesthetics. It is well maintained.
The breakfast buffet for the price point could have been alot better. We had amazing meals and service during the trip except for the breakfast buffet. It wasn’t bad, just not up to par with the rest of our dining experiences. We also did not like the bedding. It was stiff and uncomfortable. We have had better quality sheets at Holiday Inn. The towels were also rough and stiff. I felt like I was drying myself off with sandpaper.

Their needs to be a time limit per person for the jacuzzis. Theirs only two on site and this resort is massive. We. Any babysit our chairs, but people can babysit the jacuzzis?? That was my only complaint. Everything else was wonderful

Beautiful property and friendly staff
It’s a beautiful property. Everything is kept clean. The outside pool area was phenomenal. My family has so much fun and everything is included, including mini golf, rock, climbing, boats, and paddle boards, and more. There were two free waters in the fridge. The drinks outside by the pool were strong and delicious. All of the staff we interacted with were very welcoming and friendly.
There was some mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. Some parts of the pool area were a bit old and falling apart.

Great Famiky Resort
The pool facilities are lovely
Self park far away. Cost of breakfast quite high considering the selection. When paying resort fee some things to enjoy the property should be included such as borrowing a fishing rod for fishing rather than sell them, use of kayak rather then have to rent them ect…

Short family getaway
The whole place was amazing!! Great staff and super friendly environment!! Pool was amazing my daughter had a blast swimming through the tunnel and I had fun going down the water slide.
I don’t have any complaints. The whole experience was amazing.

Lovely stay
Lovely hotel with big swimming pools. They have a lot of activities included like mini golf…. The staff are excellent and very friendly. Food at the lake house restaurant was superb.
1. Main pool was closed from 8am to 5pm on Saturday for cleaning. This was really inconvenient as we choose the hotel for the pool 2. You need to wait to eat at the restaurant as the restaurant is small compared to the number of guests. They contact you when the table is ready.
