Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort, Orlando

1 Grand Cypress Blvd, Orlando, FL 32836, USA (show on map)

The Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort is a sprawling 1,500-acre tropical escape in Orlando that feels like a private world of its own. Its most iconic feature is the massive, 18-story atrium lobby that greets guests with an airy, open design, leading directly to a legendary 800,000-gallon lagoon-style pool. This aquatic wonderland is packed with 12 waterfalls, two water slides, and even swim-through caves, making it a dream for families and travelers looking to unwind.

Beyond the pool, the resort sits on the shores of Lake Windsong, where guests can enjoy kayaking, canoeing, or just relaxing on a private white sand beach. Golf enthusiasts are well-catered for, as the property features Jack Nicklaus-designed championship courses. For those wanting a touch of local flavor, the resort is home to Four Flamingos, a Michelin-recommended restaurant by celebrity chef Richard Blais that specializes in fresh Florida seafood.

The location is incredibly convenient for theme park fans, situated just minutes from Walt Disney World and providing easy access to Universal Orlando Resort. Despite being so close to the famous thrills of the city, the resort’s vast grounds offer a sense of seclusion and serenity, with nature trails winding through cypress and oak trees.

Whether you’re looking to hit the local theme parks, play a round of golf, or simply lounge by a waterfall, this resort balances high-energy fun with resort-style relaxation. It stands out as one of Orlando’s most established and versatile landmarks for a memorable Florida getaway.

Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“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.

Fodors review:

“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.

Lonely Planet review:

“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.”

Telegraph review:

“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.”

I had a wonderful time with my wife, thank you.

The only thing I didn't like was the breakfast system. They told us we had to wait 40 minutes, but I understand they have to accommodate a lot of people for the size of the breakfast area. It wasn't a big deal for me.

I think it's a very cool, elegant, and clean place, I really liked the shops they have, the beach, the kayak area, the restaurant; very interesting.

It was a great stay. I would go there again, but I would check our room first.

Staff were nice. Location was good. The staff and the food at Four Flamingos restaurant were amazing! Some reviews complained about that it wasn’t worth the price. We didn’t spend more than at a Cheesecake Factory; and the food was unique and delicious. And I’m very picky like a child and I’m also vegeterian… still I could find food to eat there and it was fantastic! Wifey loved it, too. I think it’s worth a try! The breakfast buffet was worth it, too! We loved it. A lot of nice amenities in the hotel also. We had a lot of fun.

There is room for improvement. Our room was not as clean as expected. Sure, the bed, the bathroom, and the floor were clean, but the windows weren’t so much (they also had spiderwebs overhead). I mean it’s not critical, but one would expect more from a 4-star hotel.

Good service. No extra charges for water bottles, WiFi, very warm welcome. Friendly staff. Able to check in early without extra charges. This is service that you won’t see anymore these days.

Nice stay but could use a modern facelift

I liked the fine dining restaurant. I had NYE dinner and it was a nice experience. Our server Mike was great and the food was delicious. The plating was also gorgeous. We really wanted to be able to see the fireworks and the front desk staff really delivered on a great room view. The decorations for the holidays were also nice and really made the lobby look nice. The grounds are maintained nicely and it’s really beautiful outside. The conference section of the hotel and daily events like movie night were a nice touch.

I didn’t like that the rooms don’t have microwaves and there is one microwave on every 5th floor. I also didn’t like that the my room still have carpet. I KNOW those carpets aren’t shampooed between guest so it just doesn't make the room feel clean. It’s literally 2026 and after COVID, every hotel should have wood or tile floors for sanitation purposes. The hotel also could use some renovations. It was a nice stay but the hotel section of the resort felt a little old like it was amazing 15 years ago. I truly hope some renovations to the hotel are coming soon because it’s still a nice place and could use a facelift.

Good/big resort with many outdoor options but free shuttle is joke!

Very big resort with many outdoor amenities. Good quality breakfast.

Free shuttle is joke! You can't rely on it due to single shuttle per day to the Universal park. Also very limited availability/seats. $40/day parking fee which seems very high after paying daily room charges/cost and resort fee.

The staff, hotel and grounds were wonderful.

They should offer a shuttle to Disney Springs that runs more often. One shuttle leaving at 5:00 and picking you up 4 hours later is not a convenience.

Completely enhanced my holiday

Loved the look of the hotel. From the water Brook in reception to the very dectrive pool.the grounds and gardens are beautiful, well planned and kept In excellent condition. The room are very comfortable. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly . Overall I could not fault the hotel. Thank you for a fabulous stay.

I did notice the restaurant wasn't used very much. Most days it was empty. Maybe something to think about, in terms of price and menu.

The facility is beautiful and comfortable but shuttle pick up at Disney should end at 9:45 or 10pm.

Beautiful, clean facility. Comfortable bedding

I bought Disney world tickets at concierge desk. I was told that I do not have to stand in line at Disney and can just go straight to the gate which is not true. I have to stand in the same line like purchasing tickets at Disney. It is prob better if I purchase tickets at the gate so I can ask for more advice about fast pass to save time. I think staff does not clear info about Disney when they sell tickets Also shuttles end at 9:30pm but the spectacular firework also ends at 9:30-9:40pm so we can not take shuttle back as we will miss the firework. I think the time can change to 10pm instead.

The perfect time at the perfect time of year at the perfect hotel

This is always been my favorite hotel in Central Florida. It has the perfect mixture of activities, excellent customer service, and great food. It’s so affordable it’s family, friendly and a good place for people who don’t have children. I have never had a bad experience at this hotel and would highly recommended to anyone over any other hotel in Central Florida.

I didn’t like the fact that I had to leave. I wish I could stay forever.

It’s a beautiful resort. A lot of activities to do on the property

It was extremely beautiful! A lot to do on the property.

The self parking is extremely far away from the property. We did use valet just the first night, but they had done some damage to my vehicle that I chose to use self parking on our remaining stays. It was just easier to use uber to go to the theme parks! Wish the hot tubs were a lil more hotter and that they would put an age limit for them.. they were so crowded with kids jumping and swimming in them. We just needed a lil peace and quiet to enjoy the hot tubs for our aching muscles. We are 55+ so a hot tub to relax for adults only would be really nice and for the disabled, have closer self parking.

We really enjoyed the hotel, the staff were very attentive. The grounds were very up kept. We were offered champagne when we first entered. Bell service delivered our luggage.

Payment for parking. Valet service is understandable but not for self parking, which was $37 a night and it was a further walk.
