The Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa is one of Southwest Florida’s hidden treasures. Situated along the Gulf of Mexico, this Four Diamond resort sits on Estero Bay’s pristine and wildlife preserve. Honored as one of “2009’s Top 50 Resorts in the US and Canada” by Travel & Leisure Magazine, the Hyatt at Coconut Point gives patrons a sophisticated and relaxing getaway spot that is a must to stay at.

Rooms:

The resort offers 454 guestrooms and 28 suites. The feeling in the rooms is lush and expensive in style, but very fair for your pocket book.

The guestrooms include a King or two Double signature Hyatt Grand Beds, all done up with plush linens and a luxuriously comfortable pillow-top mattress. The suites take style to another level. Richly decorated with comfort in mind, the lavish rooms contain a living room, wet bar, media center, extra sleeping arrangements and a balcony that’s to die for. We are told the balconies let guests soak in a spectacular view of Estero Bay, Bonita and Fort Myers beaches, as well as Big Hickory Island.

Amenities:

The Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa has a lot of amenities guests can indulge in. Featuring 6 restaurants and lounges, the 18-hole Raymond Floyd designed golf course, a 19,000 square foot full service spa, a swimming lagoon with water slides and a secluded beach access…what more can anyone ask for?
