I love the Tamaya Resort and as a local, I go for staycations as often as I can. If you can get the mountain view rooms, the view is gorgeous, but you can get that view all over the resort, so any room will be good if you make use of the property. ||||A couple of tips for fussy travelers like me. This is listed as a 4 star resort, but it misses the mark on a few luxury details that are standard in other 4 star Hyatt hotels like the Thompson brands. Some pros/cons below: ||-room coffee experience is less than it could be. Typical keurig type coffee in the cheap plastic coffee makers, disposable cups. I get that providing ceramic mugs and glasses creates a lot of extra housekeeping work, but it makes the experience so much more pleasurable. It's a gorgeous resort with gorgeous views. I'd love to have delicious coffee in a real mug to enjoy my mornings. So...I bring my own hot pot to boil water, a travel pour-over, and my own mug. I live nearby so it's not an extra effort for that little detail. ||-no robes or slippers that often come in 4 start resorts. If these are important, bring your own.||-mini fridge in the room is helpful||-lots of storage for clothes, luggage||-rooms are fairly quiet, and not a lot of hallway/room noise, though I do always request rooms far from the elevator, and maybe I've been lucky, YMMV||-Very comfortable beds/pillows for my taste. I love that there are no gross blankets or bed covers, decorations. It's all sheet wrapped. Room chairs/seating area is very comfortable. ||-Toiletries are very nice. I typically hate hotel lotion/soaps etc. Theirs are not overly scented. Bathrooms and showers are nice, but would love a tub! The toiletry kits in the bathroom actually contain a nail polish remover cloth which came in handy during one stay. I was so happy they had it. Rare to find this type of thing provided. ||||I keep meaning to try the spa, but haven't made it there yet. ||||The pools are great. I typically go to the main one even though I usually prefer quiet. There are always kids and adults enjoying the slide, playing games, etc. It's a wonderful family friendly environment. there's a separate private "quiet" pool if you choose. ||||Staff is sooo friendly. In the current "can't be bothered" service environment that is so common these days. The hotel really shines here. ||||N.B., if you don't run a few cycles of water through your hotel coffee makers, I recommend doing so. One stay, my coffee maker didn't work properly when I did the pre-rinse the night before, and I was able to have it quickly replaced with a text. ||||The property is gorgeous and unique. There is no place like Tamaya!
