Looking for a
weekend escape with your family? The Hyatt Regency
Chesapeake Bay Resort Spa and Marina is the place to visit.
This luxury resort located on the Choptank River in Maryland
is sure to thrill and delight the entire family. It is
a great resort for summer as well as winter. It has
400 rooms, restaurants, a golf course, a marina, four pools
and a children’s recreation center. We spent 4
enjoyable days at this resort during 2008 - Easter Break.
This hotel's environment is extremely relaxed and very kid
friendly. Service was good, rooms were nicely
decorated and very clean.

Accommodations....
You have your choice of rooms with 2
double beds or 1 king size bed as well as a selection of
suites. The view from the hotel, overlooking the marina,
pool or
Choptank
River, is great so I would recommend a water view room. We
went with the water view, two double bed room and it was
just perfect. It was an oversized room with two double
beds, a desk, two chairs and side tables. We had two sliding
doors out to a very small balcony. The view was wonderful!
Our friend’s room had a a pull-out sofa but in our room it
looked like it was removed for some reason so we had them
bring in a pull-out bed. The room was so large the the
extra bed fit with no problem at all. These rooms are
limited so make your reservation early to get one.

Amenities....
This wonderful resort has 4 swimming pools: a children’s
pool, an activities pool, an infinity pool and a climate
controlled winter garden pavilion pool. You can slip down a
winding waterslide, play water volleyball, swim laps, soak
in the Jacuzzi, or simply enjoy the river and marina from
the deck surrounding the pools. The indoor pool area is
awesome. Your kids will love to swim here in the winter.
Bring floats or purchase one at the hotel to make the
experience even better. Water basketball is available
and is a great past time. You can try out the indoor/outdoor
jacuzzi, simply swim under the wall to the outside
portion. The pavilion is all glass so on a snowy, winter
day you can watch the snow as you swim. If you are not
interested in swimming you can relax on a deck chair with
your favorite book or enjoy the view.
Indoor pool
area
At night
you will find the indoor pool area is turned into a Dive-In
Movie theatre. So the kids can swim while they watch a
favorite movie.
For the athletic traveler there is tennis, beach volleyball,
table tennis, golf, pool tables, miniature golf and water
sports.
You can rent
everything from a sail boat to a kayak, paddleboat, Hobie
cat or 17 foot powerboat from Blackwater Paddle and Peddle
located on the far activities beach near the marina. These
activities are seasonal and hours vary depending on weather
conditions. A fitness center is also
available.
Satisfy your inner gourmet
with a cooking class taught by the resort chef or improve
your wine I.Q. with a class from
The
Wine Coach.
Bring along or purchase at the hotel store the goodies to
roast S’mores by the grand outdoor fireplace. This is
a great family activity that all will enjoy.
In addition,
you will find an 18 Acre Wildlife Refuge on the premises of
the Hyatt. You can jog, walk trails or seek a guided tour
of this lush area indigenous to animals of the Eastern
Shore, such as the Great Blue Heron and American Bald Eagle.
Lastly,
kids can enjoy the Captain’s Parlor game room with it’s Ping
Pong, Air Hockey, and Basketball.

Blue Point Provision
The Blue Point Provision Company is located at the far end of the
resort in a freestanding building. It is a short walk or
there is a free van service available from the main lobby.
You will enjoy the tranquil view of the marina, the nautical
decor and the relaxed coastal ambience of this restaurant. Outdoor dining is
available on a seasonal basis. Food is delicious for both
the seafood lover and the non-seafood lover. Reservations
are strongly recommended for dinner. Check with the hotel
for specials prior to your visit. We saw at the hotel that
they had a three course meal available for a set price,
which was a great deal. This included a soup or salad,
entree and dessert; however we had to request the menu at
the restaurant. It was not readily available.
Water's Edge Grill
This family-oriented waterfront restaurant is open for breakfast,
lunch and dinner. The Water's Edge Grill is a full-service
restaurant overlooking the pool. It offers dining,
indoors, or outdoors on a screened enclosed porch. The
restaurant features an array of specialty dishes, such as
steaks, poultry and game prepared with
Chesapeake Bay
regional flair. Reservations are strongly recommended.
Bay Country Market
The Bay Country Market, located on the lobby level, serves fresh
Starbucks gourmet coffees, cappuccinos, lattes and breakfast
pastries. In addition, you will find snack items as well
as gifts, magazines, sundry items and a variety of grocery
foods.
Dock's Poolside
Poolside snack bar serving lunch, snacks, tropical smoothies, milk
shakes and cocktails.
Eagle's Nest Bar and Grille
Dine by the greens of The Golf Club at River Marsh in this bar and
grille. Enjoy Grilled sandwiches, burgers, wraps, and
salads.
The food at the hotel was good but expensive. We ventured out to
the surrounding areas and had dinner. St. Michael’s is a
half hour drive and a nice change of scenery. We decided to
go to the local Denny’s for breakfast, 5 minutes away,
instead of eating at the hotel restaurants.
