The hotel was decorated for the holidays and was beautiful. The breakfast buffet in the restaurant was delicious and the omelette station was delightful! My crawfish omelette was just the Cajun touch I needed. The staff is all wonderful and has great customer service. We will be staying here ...

Hyatt Vacation Club at Coconut Cove, Bonita Springs
Staff was friendly and helpful. Not much to do at this location in December, lazy river was closed, tiki bar and market house had limited hours. Pools were cold. Rooms need upgraded, our kitchen cabinet doors were broken off the hinges. Close to restaurants and shopping in Bonita Springs.
