That view alone definitely earns extra points for sure👌🏻😁
I stayed there this past Father’s Day weekend. The location was great! It was beautiful! I did not care for the having to walk through the atrium to get back and forth to your room. That made me not want to leave the room or come back. The breakfast buffet was trash! Long lines and not enough selections and was $30/pp. Eat outside of the hotel! The shopping was disappointing…I was looking to buy some Hawaiian wear and all the locals were asking me where I got my clothes LOL. The ABC store was cool and convenient. My room was facing that main drag and that thing was so loud at night. The motorcycles and loud transmissions need a noise ordinance! Not the hotels fault, but sooooo loud! The weed smoke killed us while we were on the balcony also! The elevators sucked! Not enough and we’re so slow. I walked the stairs from the 9th floor. That got old fast especially after a long day! The room was nice and big! The refrigerator and the shower were halfway working. The floor
at the sink was sticky. The stay was just OKAY. I’d give the stay a 2.5/5.
When I stayed there, the check in lobby offered the best iced tea I’ve ever had! It was so good. They said everyone loves it.
Nice! No iced tea when we checked in :(
We stayed at the Hyatt recently and we loved it. Due to such good vlog, we didn't have any issues and had a smooth stay and beautiful, lovely vacation! We planned so much of our trip from your vlogs. Excellent work!
Awesome! Thanks Ameya!
I've stay at both Sheratons, but I'll be bringing my little sis for her first trip to Hawaii in 4 days. All she asked was for a room with a great view...and here it is! Booked. Thanks
Yup! Great views at the Hyatt!
I haven’t been around the channel in 4 Months but I’m back and this was a great video!
Welcome back Ethan!
I stayed at this hotel, great location, the elevator transferring was a bit annoying but overall loved staying there very convenient and responsive staff.
Mr. Chris....thanks for showing us your hotel for your most recent vacation. Love the big crib in the room for your daughter. lol Have a nice weekend.
Thanks MP!
I agree with you. It doesn't feel grand but the location is superb. I stayed at Sheraton Waikiki last month, it was amazing, but the rooms are smaller. I guess you can't have it all... hahaha..... Thank you for a nice honest review...
Thanks RLSJC28!
Hi bass well not bad Hotel Hyatt Waikiki, the common areas of the hotel including the restaurants, shops, lobby Thank you for video! Very nice Chris
I love the Hyatt Waikiki, never stayed there, have at the one on Maui (love). I do spend a lot of time in the lobby area of the Hyatt when in Waikiki, the afternoon entertainment is fun, sitting by the waterfalls is fun, the many shops are fun. But honestly, that room really looked sparse, almost like an afterthought. No real Hawai'ian decorations, art etc. Other than the fabulous view, it looked like any hotel room USA. Maybe it was due to the pandemic, ie so was the broken elevator problems. Less tourists= less staff. I have been prowling the Hyatt in Waikiki since the mid 70s. Just too pricey for me to stay at. I remember Spats restaurant! I have never rented a car for more than one day at a time in Waikiki just due to the parking issues all over that area. If you got that room for $200 a nite, BLESS YOU!! Because I am sure it is at least an $700+ a nite room now.
Absolutely beautiful view ! Thanks for the review Chris.
Thank you for the Video. Never been on Hawaii. Perhaps we try. Greetings from Germany
One of my favorites! Watching at 1am. I've seen this like 8 times now. One of the best for sure.
Thanks Jordan! 8 times.. wow!
Superb video and love how there are so many conveniences at the hotel. I do love the ABC stores and Kai coffee. On my last trip there before the pandemic I went to an ABC store each day, maybe after things are settled in Trinidad I can aloha again soon.
Can't beat the convienence of the ABC Stores!
Lol, loved seeing Topher tucked into the adorable Princess's baby blanket. 😂🧸🐼
Good eye K! :)
love that you did your opening standup in the pool!
Thanks Jeff! Trying to mix it up! :)
Very nice Chris, thank you. U made my day. I always felt I'm missing out on staying there, now I realize not so much ⛵ OUR beautiful princess is growing right in front of us 💛
Thanks Juliet!
The hotel looks really nice, and I like that the beach isn't too far of a walk either. The parking looks rather unfortunate with the small garage. The hotel does look worthwhile though especially if you aren't renting a car while staying there.
Wouu what an amazing hotel. Lots of attractive shops. Nice video
Thanks AinoRonda!
Chris, you should review the Royal Hawaiian next time. Beautiful property and great seclusion away from the main drag. Marriott platinum members have access to their great club lounge. Give it a try next time!
Thanks for the tip.. hopefully I can get a good rate there next time!
@@YellowProductions it’s worth using some extra points if you need to.
Great review we always stay at Hyatt regency Waikiki now. Service is great. We loved the swim lounge too along with the shor. We actually got married on the area between the two restaurants and pool
Neat!
Great review, really enjoying your channel. Would love to see a review of the Ilikai Suites
Aloha! We love Waikiki♥️We love Honolulu! Thank you for video!
Thanks Mirguole!
We just got back from Hyatt Regency also in Oahu, we got room upgrade and used our rewards for the stay on 47th floor our room was larger than yours with french sliding doors on the opposite tower, the macadamia nut coffee at KAI is a must try.
Nice! Lucky you! Maybe you got upgraded to a suite?
Great video, fun to watch, and informative.
Really enjoyed an honest review and complete tour of this hotel. Very helpful. Subscribed!
Thanks Texas Discount Land and welcome to Yellow Productions
Love the ABC stores, hope to be there in October
Wishing you the best!
Thanks for the awesome review. I’ve always wanted to go there but wasn’t sure what it was like. Now that I do, I might consider it on my next trip there. The view is the best part.
The view is amazing!
Amazing hotel views
They are some amazing views!
The Cookie Company will give you a sample. I would stop in for my sample daily. At the end I bought cookies for my family back home
We were there almost the exact same date as you guys. We had the oceanfront room as well and smelled the same marijuana couple days in a row. We complained to the front desk and they comped the parking fee and the breakfast for our kids. Agreed with you everything you mentioned about this hotel.
Maybe I should have complained too then! :)
Thank you much for this review. I have been debating back and forth whether I wanted to stay at the Hyatt Regency or Hyatt Centric. I was hoping that the Hyatt Regency would be a resort-type experience, but that's not the case. I'm going to be sticking with the Centric for my visit as I think it's the newer property!
I look forward to your report on the Hyatt Centric!
We’ve stayed at both but usually Centric for 1-2 nights using our Chase Hyatt Card free nights and Hyatt Regency Waikiki for the rest of our week long stay. Centric does not have the views or the spacious hotel grounds and is not as central.
@@karenkylo Good to know! I'm essentially doing something similar. Spending 3 nights at Hyatt Centric and the rest of my time at the Alohilani resort next door to Hyatt Regency (due to a travelzoo deal). Was the Centric a decent place to stay? I had my eye on their suites. I know that they don't have much of a view, but they seem comfortable and the location is close to a lot of the places I wanted to visit in that part of my itinerary
@@kencmail The Alohilani looks beautiful! I’ve never been but have seen photos and reviews. Definitely would pick that over Hyatt Regency if you want new and modern. The Centric is a fairly basic hotel and prob not worth splashing out for a suite (unless u need the space) as you won’t be thinking of hanging out at the hotel or in your room. The pool area is basic and other than the lobby area, there isn’t any public space or grounds to hang out at. I believe we got “upgraded” to a room with a “view” due to our Hyatt status and that was nice but the view was a partial view of the ocean and another hotel since the Centric sits back behind another hotel.
Thank you Chris! Being a Hyatt member myself, I can imagine your disappointment, however the room itself looks large, clean and comfortable with a great view. I see why you would go back there. CAB :)
Thanks CAB!
Great video, Chris! Beautiful view, though I would definitely have been nervous with a little one there, that hight up!
Thanks Jeannified... yeah.. we kept her in the Poco (backpack carrier) strapped in when we sat on the balcony
I watched again the video 😊 I like very much the location, just in front of the beach, and the calm water, ideal for enjoy, I like it very much, and the view!!! Really, only for just being reading a book in that balcony worth the trip to Hawaii. I definitely think that hotels with rooms with views like that is more important for me than a luxurious room but ni view. I choose this hotel for my future visit 🏩😉
Nice santi!
Great reveiw ..but I was nervous when you were on the balcony with the baby .....the views were amazing
Thanks theuniplex... we were good distance from the railing... I think the camera angle might be a bit deceiving as to how close or far we were from the edge.
I think the majority of the pools in Waikiki are small. With Hawaiian hotels, I always feel the star ratings there are one-star too much. You had an amazing view!!!!
Here at the moment great hotel.
Used to stay here as Hyatt employee.. Great!
We love the ABC stores.
As much as we love spam
2 thumbs up for ABC stores!
Price sounds great and balcony view looks amazing.
Saw another review video of this same hotel and there room looked half this size as yours. Hope we get a big room like yours. We are staying there in 2 weeks.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Good Review as always ...love your videos...
Awesome tour and review Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Ed and Vedda!
my favorite oahu hotel...
Greatly appreciate this video!! We went in Spring 2019 and contemplated between staying at the Hyatt or the Alohilani. Ultimately we decided to stay at the Alohilani. The deciding factor was the size of the bathtub. However, the bathtub drain in the Alohilani made us quite nervous because it drained really slow like it was clogged. Will definitely have to try the Hyatt next time. Especially for the breakfast buffet! By the way, did you have to pay an additional fee for the breakfast buffet or was it included with the room? The Alohilani required guests to pay $50 per day/per person to access their breakfast buffet.
We were Hyatt Globalist members so the brekkie was free for us
i was deciding between this and alohilani, the reviews there lately have been bad so I think im gonna go with this hotel.. idk
Your daughter walks and eats on her own already! I like to look at her.
Excellent review! Thank you!
Thanks T!
After watching this video I saw the Hyatt Regency renovated their grounds & rooms. Maybe we will get an updated video next time you're in Hawaii.
I'll have to check it out!
I really like your videos! And the traveling princess is so adorable
Thanks Diana!
You are part of the FC Augsburg's 2021-2022 bundesliga schedule presentation on twitter Chris!
Hah! Pretty funny Hans!
Thanks Chris,great video,omg your daughter is absolutely adorable 💕
Thanks Elizabeth!
THANKS FOR THE REVIEW
Great wideo and what a view!!
Thanks Gilberto!
Let warm memories and happy mischievous days warm your heart and lift your mood.
My mom works there (:
Neat!
Awesome job Chris
Thanks for this review! Any chance there was a kettle in the room? Need it to warm water for the baby’s bottles!
Your princess 👸has gotten so big! She's beautiful.
I’m guessing there was no game room which one might find pinball machines. I think I would be rather happy staying at this hotel. Another great video Chris.
Game rooms are really rare nowadays.. so not so much in those hotel
I stayed at the Hyatt in La Jolla and it was pretty great
Nice!
We gave a detailed review of Waikiki Central hotel a couple blocks away from there. We needed a budget hotel, and boy do I think we found a hidden gem. I don't know if you ever look at cheaper hotels, but if you do, check it out.
Thanks for the tip Empty Nest!
@@YellowProductions I gave you a much deserved shout out on my food of Oahu video!
Our family has stayed here 2 yrs in a row. We love the location. We slept great in the queen beds. However, I will say there is a lot of wasted space when it comes to shops/restaurants within the hotel, in our opinion.
Hey Chris, another great review. Given the price of parking in Waikiki, would you say it's better to try and plan your vacation in advance figuring out which days you need a rental car then just pick one up from the hotel on a daily basis? Seems like you avoid maybe 7 nights worth of parking (assuming your there for a week) and maybe a few days worth of car rental. Just use the trolleys for the around town stuff.
Yes.. if you can find a good rate at the Waikiki rental spots.
that is what I have done, the bus system thru Waikiki to downtown is pretty good
If you want grand, stay at the Grand Hyatt on Kauai, gorgeous
We stayed there a few years ago! :) czcams.com/video/dMEnQvjEKGE/video.html
Great video love this place
Thanks Danuellia!
Great video thank you very much
Thanks Santi!
Hey Chris. Natalie here from Vancouver. Just watched your video on the hyatt in waikiki. If you think this is an outdated hotel etc. You mentioned that you will ve staying in the hyatt vancouver on your next trip. You might want to reconsider this choice. Its really dark, depressing and next to our above ground transit system. Not the best hotel at all. Wanted you to be aware of this. Cheers
Thanks for the tip English Way!
great video
Great father! Great video!
Aww... thanks Christian!
My question is when will a resort or travel site hire you lol. And is it more lucrative to to CZcams at this point lol.
I wouldn't mind being a professional reviewer for Hyatt :)
Appears to be a great overall hotel. But that lobby, holy moly! Looks like something from the 80s.
Great video. By the way are you using a gimbal? It provides a smoother video especially when you pan horizontally
We use a combination of cameras to shoot this.. but yes I do have a gimbal.. but cinematic video isn't really what we're going for on those hotel reviews :)
Wow. Hawaii must be near normal state since buffets are open
You can check out my video all about the "current state" of Hawaii here: czcams.com/video/SVXALZilLdk/video.html
Im watching
Thumbs up !
Sweet Martin!
DAMN 29 fucking dollars for a breakfast!?!?!?!? That is CRAZY!!!
lmao that big mic attachment on his shirt is hilarious looking
Yeah.. but it sounds good! :)
ABC Stores are the best!
Yup yup!
We always stock up on as many boxes of the chocolate covered macadamia as we can, to bring home.
I think Hyatt franchises a lot of its properties, so that's why the differences. If the owners were willing to invest enough money, the hotel could be remodeled to the point of looking like a new first class hotel. That said, I would have no problems staying there. The rooms look good and obviously it's in a central location. I'm not picky, and of course, I'm not going to be living there.
17:30 you was smoking that pakalolo lol
ok let's remember👍🙋♀️🚶
Would love a stay/review of Trump Waikiki. Thanks for all the great info.
You didn't mention if they have a grill area
trying to decide between this hotel and the Sheraton - would you say the infinity pool at the Sheraton is worth more money than staying here for less?
Depends how much you think you'll be in the swimming pool. I come here for the Ocean.. not the pool. So the pool area doesn't do much for me.
Their website says they have a Breakfast Bar which is free, but you mentioned paying for your breakfast. What's the Breakfast Bar have?
Breakfast is definitely not free unless you're a Hyatt elite member
The property looks very old and dated...but I'm sure the prices are up to date.
The hotels are not as fancy as Vegas. They are on the older end of decor.
That Hyatt place is only about 2 years or so old
FYI: As of 2023, self parking is $50 a night even if your a guest at the Hyatt. $70 a night for Valet parking. That sucks.
Ouch
im going to hawaii next month. should i rent a car, uber , or bus it?
Rent a car if you can get one at a reasonable price
sold me at the sippy cup
Sweet! 😉
was the construction nearby bothersome?
We didn't hear it from our room
What status where you when you stayed?
Looking to stay as a globalist but dont know if it was worth it. The hyatt centric was worth it!
I was also a Globaliat. I think the brekkie and the room upgrade were good status recognitions. What made the Hyatt Centric worth it?
Booked the standard room and when i checked in they moved me to a penthouse suit with a view of the water. First hotel i stayed while being a globalist member.
self serve laundry?
Was this room considered “oceanfront?” or ocean view?
Yes.. this is considered "oceanfront"
Rich Dads hotel
We paid $180 a night. Not too expensive for Waikiki really
@@YellowProductions lol no no I mean Robert Kiyisakis dad, in his book which he calls rich dad once owned that place
The hotel's rich dad from rober kiyosaki
"Papayaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Any problems with homeless? We have heard they tend to congregate in that area and have caused trouble with drugs and fighting etc.
We didn't have any trouble with the homeless.. we were also back in the room by 9pm every night so not sure what later is like
