Looking for a beautiful hotel with a wonderful swimming pool?

Which is better? They both have comparable prices.

Thanks

Both are enormous, somewhat impersonal hotels. The Marriott is much larger than Grand Cypress. I prefer the pool at the Marriott but the Grand Cypress is more of a resort atmosphere, with both English and Western horseback riding available as well.

Hi Postal-

Really? I didn't know that the Marriott had a nicer pool than the Hyatt. The Hyatt looks so amazing with the pictures of their brochure. Though, the Marriott does as well.

Hmmmm I figured people would say the Hyatt hands down.

I suppose I will just go with the cheaper one.

I did hear though that the Hyatt has a shuttle for free to the parks, whereas the Marriott does NOT.

Thanks again.

Anyone else care to comment between the two resorts?

Thanks

I think the Hyatt looks more beautiful...however, I have not stayed at either. Just viewed the pictures.

We stayed at the Hyatt this year and it is beautiful. The grounds are unbelievable, pool very very nice with waterfall, grotto, slide through rock landscaping and rope bridge. There's also a small lake with beach, paddleboats and sunfish. Tennis, golf, riding are all on the grounds as well, and they do have a shuttle to Disney. If you want to leave!

Didn't see the Marriott so have no idea how it would compare. Hard to beleive their pool could be nicer than Hyatt's!

I live in Orlando and know both hotels very well. Tough decision. Can't go wrong with either hotel. Hyatt feels more like a Resort and the Marriott feels more like a Convention Center.
Go with the Hyatt.

Thanks guys...I think I am going to go with the Hyatt because it transfers you to the parks & back.

Anyone else care to compare?

Thanks again to all of you

The hyatt is the most beautiful of the two. Very romantic too!

Hyatt, definitely!!! Never stayed at the Marriott, but we did have our 10th anniversary at the Hyatt!! It was awesome! They gave us a special room overlooking the lagoon and the pool for no extra $. It was really wonderful. We went horseback riding- it was okay, but not the best riding experience ever. Try the swim up bar!! Have fun!

When I stayed at the Marriott W.C. a couple of years ago, they had free shuttles to and from the parks.

Hyatt hands down! We were there last month and never left the resort!!!

And it IS a resort...the pool was heavenly! Just be sure to get out there very early if you plan on using the umbrellas and tables.

Be sure to try the breakfast buffet at least once while there-delicious choices and fresh-squeezed orange juice.(I forget the name, but it's the restaurant with the spiral staircase).

Staff is very friendly and helpful. I went walking very early each day there all around the grounds...they have 3 running trails on property...horse stables for riding, beautiful black and white swans in the lake...just so gorgeous and so peaceful too. You will flip when you see the lobby...a little brook runs thru it with live birds and lush, tropical atmosphere.

You may never leave the place either!

We have stayed at both and the Hyatt
wins hands down for romantic. The
rooms are so much nicer and larger
than the Marriott. We wound up upgraded on one trip to the concierge floor and had access to the hospitality room all day. The rooms are exactly the same on the other floors just missing the "treats".
It is a wonderfully plush hotel that I
always feel I have gotten my money's worth. The Marriott is just a large,
impersonal, unfriendly, convention
hotel that left me feeling ripped off.
We have stayed at both on several
occasions during the past 7 years. Go for the hyatt!!
