Our Favorite Hyatt Hotels with Water Parks
I don’t know about your kids, but mine think vacations are just better when our hotel pool has a waterslide. Even if your days are going to be spent exploring Disney World or some other bucket list destination, they just want to know what the hotel pool situation is. So if you’re looking for great hotels you can pay for with credit card points, that also have some epic water features, I’ve got you. I have rounded up some of Hyatt’s best properties that boast multiple water slides, lazy rivers, and interactive play areas. Because when it comes to family vacations, sometimes the resort IS the destination.
Since these are all Hyatt properties, remember that you can transfer points from Chase to Hyatt at a 1:1 ratio. If you want to get a crash course on how we use credit card points to travel for nearly free you’ll want to check out my Beginners Guide to Points and Miles.
