Hyatt High Sierra, lovely in the snow

Denise L · Mar 11, 2008

We were up at the Hyatt High Sierra during Presidents' Week. It was the perfect time of year, with fresh snow every day. Here are some photos that I am finally getting around to posting.

Great pics .I almost forgot what that white stuff looks like.

steve1000 · Mar 11, 2008

Thanks for the pics. They're great! I was there a year ago September and it's interesting to see how different the resort looks with snow - either way, with or without snow it is a gorgeous place to visit.

Denise L · Mar 11, 2008

We would love to visit during the summer! The parking lot would not be so full of snow

.

The kids had a great time sledding at the nearby driving range. Everything was covered in snow, and I couldn't even tell where the beach was supposed to be.

There hasn't been any snow since that weekend. We lucked out!

Compare to September .....

Denise L · Mar 12, 2008

Wow, great Fall photos! I couldn't tell where anything was in the snow, all the paths were covered and everything was just white

. Hopefully we will be there next August to explore!

tamu91 · Mar 12, 2008

Thanks for the pictures, Denise. We might be going in August if we can ever get this closing thing done:ignore:

Carmel85 · Mar 12, 2008

FYI

Gray Fal picture of the pool is of the Hyatt (hotel) and NOT the Hyatt timeshare just wanted to let people know. The pool is in Denise pictures. I wanted to point this out just in case people who go say where is that BIG BIG pool.

Yes Hyatt timeshare owners staying in Tahoe have access to Hyatt (hotels) Big big pool mid week only and on certain days only, at lease that was the rules last year that was discussed at the HOA meeting. We will have to see what the rules are this year it can change anytime.

I sure love those pictures summer and winter!!! :banana:

I hope others start NEW threads with ONLY Hyatt pictures through out the Hyatt resorts come on start sending all those other Hyatt resort pictures.
:cheer:

Denise, did you see one of the weeks-for-sale list from the front desk? Can you share some of the prices? Great photos!

minstrel · Mar 12, 2008

Speaking of Northstar, do we know if it will be a Saturday checkin, or Sunday, or both?

I brought home a copy. All of the asking prices are very high. I'll get the page scanned and can forward you a copy, if it scans okay. Just send me a PM with your email address.

Denise,

Yes one broker at Hyatt Incline has the market all locked up and the prices are higher (inflated) than other Hyatts.

I saw that same list last year also. I do not mind the prices a little higher because there are other brokers you can buy through to get Hyatt Incline timeshares.

Remember there is only so much property in Tahoe and very very few developments if any being built with lake access, BEACH full access and great location like the Hyatt Incline.

I always have seen the Hyatt Incline go up in value since the Hyatt open their doors once you go there as you know you will keep coming back for years to come. Especially for 2200 (51,52 and 7) and 2000 (26-34)point weeks.

There is NO new development (timeshares) going to happen in Incline Village in the next 10 years.

I will continue to buy Hyatt incline because of its great location and great facilities for years to come even at a premium over other Hyatt properties through out America.

Friday to Friday ONLY, NO Saturday or Sunday check in that will be in building #2 or #3 which are NOT being built yet. This info is per the sales department at Northstar.

I find it very strange only Friday to Friday this is very strange to me I would love to get more info on this. What is Hyatt thinking?

cookinmamma · Mar 12, 2008

Love the photos!

Thank you!! It's gorgeous in the snow. Can't wait to go this August, and now I'll need to plan ahead for a winter ski trip there!

Hi Carmel - Why ARE the rules this way? I hope this changes! I'll be putting in my 2 cents when there in August, but won't get to any HOA meetings anytime soon. That big pool is great fun. The timeshare pool in comparison is dinky!! :annoyed:

When we were in the pool and hot tub area, there was no one there at all! So the pool seemed HUGE and the hot tub was just fine

. Okay, so it was like 20 something degrees outside....but still

! It seemed big enough for the four of us

.

We walked over the the Hyatt hotel pool and it seemed crowded (at least in the heated swim-out area), and the elevator area was congested. We were happy to be at the timeshare pool :cheer:

I'm Carmel85 not Carmel just want to get that clear because Carmel tells some big lies about Hyatt and Hyatt Northstar!!!!

In regards to the Pool one of the owners Steve Dallas (who ran for office HOA Lake Tahoe but lost last years election, always this year election) ask a great question to the board and the Hyatt Timeshare management "why cant we use the big pool all the time"? Other owner also asked this because make Hyatt timeshare sales people said that this was part of the deal when they sold the timeshares and bought then from the developer directly 7+ years ago.

Well Hyatt timeshare owners ONLY have access to the Hyatts beach and gym it is in the deed restrictions and HOA agreements. NOTHING is in writing in regards to the pool or the Hot tub at the main Hyatt hotel.

So Steve Dallas ask why is there not a prescriptive easement or assess since all Hyatt timeshare owners use it now and have been using it for 7 years. NO ANSWER!!! Just that Hyatt timeshare and Hyatt Hotel have a hand shake agreement (nothing in writing). This is scary because Hyatt and Hyatt timeshare can change Manager at this resort anytime then what?? YIKES

We as Hyatt Tahoe owners really need to put the feet to the fire of the Hyatt timeshare management and work out a written agreement so we can use the Hyatt main pool facilities year round. Remember we all spend some $$$ in the Casino and on food other hyatt things. So Hyatt Hotels can bend over backward for us if they want too.

I urge all Hyatt tahoe owners to stand up and fight a little, even at the hoa meeting, or put it in writing so at the hoa meeting it can be read into the record.

I really hope this year we can elect Steve Dallas to the HOA board in Lake Tahoe he would really get some issues solved and I feel the pool facility is a big issue because Hyatt management can take it away ANYTIME for us Hyatt Timeshare owners.!!!!!!

Sorry about the pool picture- I realise we were sitting at the restaurant overlooking the main pool having lunch - didn't take a picture of the 'little' pool (wink)

Here are a few more pictures ....
