The hype
Families worship this place for the endless activities, but couples often find it too loud and overrun with children.
Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa
$329-738/ notte
Prenota se You want a Texas-sized family resort experience where the kids can float a lazy river while you sip bourbon by a fire pit.
Perché piace così tanto
- The 1,000-foot Crooked River water park with lazy river and slide
- Meet-and-greets with resident longhorns, alpacas, and goats
- Surprisingly excellent on-site dining, including a hidden omakase counter
In sintesi: It's a chaotic, expensive family paradise that feels like a summer camp with better sheets and $18 cocktails.
Recensito da @mypetitetheory.nina: We booked this for our anniversary and it was perfect. The room was beautiful, but the secret sushi dinner was the highlight of the trip. It felt like a true escape from the city. Highly recommend for couples.
