Grand Hyatt Indian Wells Resort & Villas
We had an incredible stay. The resort is stunning. So gorgeous and clean! We travelled with a 6 and 9 year old. Tons to do for them. Lots of daily activities. The pools and waterslides are so much fun. The food is excellent but you are paying resort prices. We will definitely be back.
