Sanctuary Cove - Gold Coast REVIEW - MASTER THREAD - LEAVING HYATT 12/5/12?
Planning a trip down under and considering spending a few days at the Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast. Anyone stayed there? How is is? How's the Regency Club? Suites?

This is one of our favourite Hyatt. The RC is in a pavillion - last July, they tried to stop the buffet style in evening and to only give out a preset plate per table - hope they stopped that again. Breakfast in RC is really good. Fireplace restaurant too.

Very nice although really small hotel. Nice marina with many good restaurants and shops next to it. Seemed to be much better than Coolum Beach where we had stayed. We left the Coolum Beach and went to the Gold Coast but the Hyatt was full and so we went to the Marriott which is also very nice.

Hyatt Regency Club (Sanctuary Cove) questions
I'm wondering if anyone can offer some information. We'll be staying at the Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove at the end of the year, and I'm wondering if upgrading to the Regency Club is worth the 45.00 USD per night is worth it... Generally we stay at Sheraton's/Westin's, but not this time, so I am unfamiliar with the Regency Club and what it may offer...

We love the RC at Sanctuary Cove. It is in a pavillion and offers continental breakfast, softdrinks, coffee/tea nad cookies and snacks and wine/beer in the evening.
I hope they did not switch to snacks served on a small plate in the evening again !

$45 per night?? Marginal, unless big drinkers. If 2 adults and a child then definately. If 1 adult, then probably not. If you will be out and about and miss any AM or PM use of club they probably not. If you are going to "hang" at the property and use the club at every chance then go for it.
We, as Diamond's, got it free. We thought the club was well worth that and more (heh, heh) but $22.50US each per day, I doubt it.

I forgot to mention that we are 2 adults and 2 children (ages 6 & 8)... I think that we would at least take advantage of the breakfast, if it's your normal breakfast fare. I've always found when staying in a hotel, that the most leisurely way for us to eat breakfast is in the club lounge (at least in the Sheraton's/Westin's) Sounds like the Regency Club may be worthwhile to us.
Are the accomodations themselves different in any way? Or, is the only difference the lounge?
Glad to see a few people that have been to Sanctuary Cove!

There is a way to upgrade.
You can join the Club at the Hyatt and they give you upgrade certificates for all the Australian properties. email me if you are interested.
The cost is about $US150 and you get 50% off dining as well.

Aussielori, your email address is not public, but I'd really like to hear more about this! Are the upgrade certs. good for confirmed upgrades? Or, just available at check in? We could definitely use 50% off our dining!

Another question:
Is it worth to stay in a SUITE
at Hyatt Sanctuary Cove ? I am on a long holiday.
Any experiences?
Is it better to fly to Brisbane or to Coolangetta/gold coast airport? Does anyone know what the cost for a limo or taxi is from the airport?
