The house
HyattBayside waterpark playground
The property runs as an expansive all-ages playground, where days drift between dueling waterslides, slow-moving currents, and open-air fire pits.
What it’s good at
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On twenty-six acres bordering Estero Bay, with private ferry access to Big Hickory Island.
The rooms
The rooms were thoroughly updated in 2022, keeping to clean, quiet lines that make resting after a day outdoors easy.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated lagoon and courtyard waterfall pools wind through palm trees, flanked by waterslides and a meandering lazy river.
The spa
Eighteen treatment rooms span two levels at Stillwater Spa. Guests unwind in sunken soaking tubs and a tiled steam room.
Restaurant
Corkscrew Poolside Bar & Grill
This open-air poolside grill serves burgers and frozen drinks under striped umbrellas and tall palm trees.
Restaurant
Tarpon Bay
The cottage-style dining room looks out over a lake, serving fresh seafood, ceviche, and raw bar platters.
At the table
Mangroves Bar pours evening cocktails under glowing bottle displays, and Cool Beans supplies morning coffee and quick snacks.
How it began
The resort opened in September 2001, weathering an immediate tourism collapse when the U.S. military booked out the entire hotel.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
