For families with children, the pool is a big plus at the Hyatt Regency at Mission Bay. Kids will find a new surprise since the renovation: three pool slides, which keep them occupied while the adults swim nearby, relatively undisturbed.

Boat owners who rent slips at the nearby Hyatt-managed marina seem to like to drop in and monopolize the seating. (Kathy M.Y. Pyon / Los Angeles Times)
