HYATT MAKES SPRING BREAK MEMORABLE AND AFFORDABLE WITH THREE FOR FREE AND THE HYATT FAMILY PLAN
A free night, free room upgrade and free breakfast at Hyatt Resorts

CHICAGO (February 17, 2009) – Hyatt Resorts make spring break travel easy and affordable. Guests who reserve Three for Free and stay by March 31, 2009 will receive a free room night, complimentary room upgrade and full breakfast for two daily at 19 Hyatt resort locations in North America. In addition to great value, Hyatt resorts offer authentic, engaging experiences for guests of all ages, including creative children’s programs, world-class Hyatt Pure spas, championship golf in many locations, outdoor activities, and innovative dining options.

Valuable packages and beautiful surroundings guarantee that families who spend spring break at a Hyatt resort will get plenty of bang for their buck. Hyatt Family Plan enables guests to add a second room for the kids to their reservation at savings of up to 50% off the “Hyatt Daily Rate.” In addition, each Hyatt resort offers special value and local packages throughout the spring and summer.

Family friendly amenities include Camp Hyatt, one of the first resort programs created especially for kids, which offers fun, hands-on activities that focus on the culture, history and geography of each resort’s surroundings. A dedicated Kids Concierge at each resort and an exclusive partnership with online retailer Babies Travel Lite, delivering baby products directly to the hotel, frees up parents to care for and enjoy vacation time with their families.

With a portfolio of resort locations in North America, Hyatt offers spring break destinations to suit any family’s interests. A sampling includes:

Sunshine Central

Florida did not become a spring break capital by accident. Pack up the entire family and discover the fun at a Hyatt resort in the Sunshine State including Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa in Bonita Springs and Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando, minutes away from the city’s famous attractions. Each property offers pools, golf, tennis, locally inspired spas, and a wide range of family-focused fun.

Paradise Found

Hyatt offers three Hawaiian beachfront locations with Hyatt Pure spas, superb amenities, and activities for all ages. At the 40-acre Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa, guests can enjoy sailing, championship golf, and Hawaii’s only oceanfront spa. Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa offers a prime location on the coast with easy access to the city, the mountains, and key landmarks such as the Honolulu Zoo. The stunning Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa features guest rooms with private balconies overlooking the ocean or the mountain along with the links-style Robert Trent Jones, Jr. golf course that played host to the PGA Grand Slam of Golf from 1994 to 2006. 

Indigenous Escape

Situated between Santa Fe and Albuquerque at the base of the Sandia Mountains, Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa reflects the rich history of the area’s indigenous Tamayame people. The resort offers abundant “handcrafted” family adventure opportunities including traditional pottery making with a Pueblo guide, art collecting tours, yoga and Pilates for families, hot-air ballooning, horseback riding, and stories illustrated by telescopic views of the stars.

The Great Outdoors

The 400-acre Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa & Marina is situated on the banks of the Choptank River, providing plenty of nature-inspired activity options for the entire family. Guests of all ages can enjoy sailing, fishing, and exploration of the resort’s very own Wildlife Refuge, the Blue Heron Rookery, in addition to world-class golf, tennis, beach volleyball, and historic Cambridge and Annapolis nearby.

Branch Out

Set in one of the most beautiful regions of the Lone Star State, Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort & Spa near San Antonio offers diversions such as 27 holes of championship golf, the renowned Windflower Spa, the SPAhhhT Youth Spa, and Water Wonderland, a four-acre water park where kids and grownups alike can splash, swim and float on the 950-foot Ramblin’ River.

Chill Out

An incomparable mountain hideaway, Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa & Casino has it all, all seasons of the year. Early in the spring, guests can take in some sunny skiing on the nearby slopes. Later in the season, they can cruise on one of the resort’s private boats or splash in the lagoon-style outdoor swimming pool. Year round, guests can settle in for a treatment at the resort’s award-winning Hyatt Pure spa, roast s’mores on open fire pits, or dip into jetted spas – one for adults and the other for families.
