I personally, NEEDED to recharge my battery and escape the Manitoba winter just for a bit.

My favourite outdoor area turned out to be the patio lounge. The furniture, outdoor fireplaces, food and ambience were the perfect setting to relax and recharge.
The Hyatt Newport is currently undergoing millions of dollars in renovations. At the time of our stay, they were approximately halfway to completion. There are still major projects to do, like the main pool which in the future will include a waterpark and waterslide for kids. They hope to be all finished up by May 2013.

The renovations caused us very little, if any, inconvenience at all. We were given an upgraded hotel room, and in fact we were the first guests to stay in that room. The decor was modern and first class. We especially loved the balcony which had its own heating/air conditioning.
We used the complimentary local and airport shuttle. Its schedule was convenient to the mall and neighbouring Balboa Island. It worked great for us!

I absolutely need to make special note of the hospitality. The service at every turn was outstanding! Five star service from the front desk to the lounge, valet, security and waitstaff. There wasn't one staff member who wasn't happy to be there and look after you. I found this to be quite a refreshing change from the lousy "who cares" attitude that seems to be prevalent in North America right now. The service simply was above and beyond expectations. I have indeed forwarded my letter of thanks and appreciation to the hotel staff. They moved me that much that I took time to write and commend them. They earned it!

I don't usually set down roots when I travel, but I think I could be a regular here. The Hyatt Regency Newport Beach impressed me that much. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
