The location was the best part for us. We did not receive VIP amenities. In fact when we inquired about them our question was dismissed. We were greeted in a rude way by Bill. If we had not paid fir the stay we would had left immediately.

The entire stove stopped working in the middle of our personal che who was preparing a special meal for our guests.

Imagine making a delicate Alfredo sauce on a BBQ grill with uneven heat. It was a fiasco! We spent a lot of money for the ingredients for the sauce which we were not compensated for.

This is a picture of the bbq grill which was the only option for the chef to use.

Go for the amenities not the room.

The shower and tub were visibly dirty at check in- an entire layer of filth in the shower had to be removed by the bride before we could use either. The bed sheets felt literally like a semi waterproof shower curtain liner. The A/C wouldnt go cooler which made the sheets all the worse . & the worst part- after clearly stating multiple times we were there for our wedding weekend- we were called at 9pm by the front desk- during what should have been our intimate moment after getting married- interrupted by an unnecessary phone call. Never in my years of working in a hotel could I have imagined a worse hotel situation for my wedding weekend. The best parts were the food on property and those working the food locations, as well of course the incredible staff at bello spa on site.

unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experie

I recently stayed at the Hyatt Vacation Club in San Diego, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. Booking & Upgrade Issues When I booked my trip, I tried to upgrade my room about five days before arrival. Rooms were available online, and I was happy to pay extra. However, I was told it wasn’t possible due to “policy.” Even after escalating to the general manager, the only option given was to cancel with zero refund and rebook. I chose not to, and I’m glad—because once I arrived, the reality of the property was far from ideal. Check-in & Security The front desk staff were polite, but it quickly became clear the focus was on pushing timeshare presentations. Upon arrival, entering the property felt intrusive. Security stopped me for an extended period, asking endless questions as if I needed to provide proof of identity beyond reason. They even marked my parking spot to monitor where I was staying, despite my understanding that I should be able to move freely around the resort. Property Layout The resort is extremely spread out, almost like a small city. With eight pools scattered so far apart, you need to drive just to get from one to another—not at all convenient. Room & Cleanliness When I entered my room, it was dirty. Popcorn on the floor, no shampoo in the shower, and a smelly garbage bag left outside my door for three days straight. Even worse, when I called the front desk, I was told that cleaning would be an extra charge—despite the room being dirty f

Sleep Good

I purchased 1 12 pack of beer and 2 waters 2 small bag of chips. I paid $ 65.00. Just saying. Bring your cooler and buy your stuff before arriving. Snacks, food, drinks are available but expensive. The breakfast place opens until 10am. We were starving at 8am so we had to drive out of resort 25 minutes out to an Ihop.
