The good: The room itself was very nice. The pillow-top bed was comfortable and we did not hear a sound from anyone in adjoining rooms, though we saw a couple with two young kids enter the room next door. The room was large and very clean, with one of the best bathrooms we've seen in a hotel. The hotel staff was fantastic, extremely friendly and helpful. Michener's Library (actually a hotel bar) is comfortable and has a great water view.
The bad: We paid extra for a water view room and got one overlooking a construction site. Sure, you could see the water, but the building under construction detracted from the view. They nickel and dime you to death! After paying over $200 a night, they added a $12 "resort fee" and charge $3.75 if you drink a bottle of water provided in your room. Come on, they can't even provide a couple free bottles of water (probably costing them 50 cents each) for a room costing that much? WiFi isn't free either. I paid $10 for 24 hours of use, but it never worked with my PDA, so I asked for and received a refund of the WiFi charge. I know they went millions of dollars over budget with the construction, so maybe this is their way of getting it back. The cost of drinks was also higher than other resorts we have visited. One beer and one glass of house wine in Michener's Library cost almost $14.
Finally, the Blue Point Provision Company restaurant was a disappointment. The menu is similar to Red Lobster, at 2-3 times the price. We expected a selection of fresh fish, such as tuna, swordfish, mahi-mahi, etc. at these prices, but the fish of the day were flounder, farm raised salmon, and tilefish. Other than the tilefish, everything else was standard Red Lobster type fare.
I am not likely to return to the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort.
I would not recommend it to friends.
