my chair . How did he know who I was ? Or where I sat ? The Hyatt hires more than 500 employees to welcome Spring and Summer visitors , including 44 lifeguards . Jason Shorter , manager of the Recreation program , says that employees go through rigorous safety and customer service training . “ Remembering faces , remembering names are part and parcel of safety . We want you to feel assured that once you are here at our resort , you and your family are safe .” Recreation department staff are required to find out three interesting facts about each family , which means they are going the extra mile to be friendly , engaged and aware . This sense of familiarity and hospitality made our Spring Break one to remember . The Hyatt offers frequent Stay and Play specials . Go to their website , the Dorchester County tourism website or check area magazines for a coupon .

Spa A quiet and relaxing respite , Sago Spa features steam and sauna rooms , a modern salon and 13 treatment rooms , including Vichy and other massages . Kids Club Pirate ’ s Cove at Camp Hyatt offers a funfilled half-day , full-day or nighttime childcare program . Parents can drop the kiddos off confident that they will have a safe and amazing time . We took advantage of the Camp Hyatt half-day program so we could make a dash for the Spa , and again at night so the adults could enjoy a quiet and stunning sunset . The kids made crafts , played games , went to the pool and had a blast . No complaints about the babysitters here ! Fitness Center Unlike most hotel gyms , this one is open 24 hours and is fully stocked with modern fitness machines , weights and equipment . It is conveniently located above the pool and across from the game room and has a view across verdant landscaping to the river beyond . Hot Tub An adults-only zone , the hot tub is a step down and a world away from the chaos of the pool . The indoor hot tub is small , but connects through an underwater passageway to the outdoor tub , which is much larger .
