This property is right downtown - and is loud at night due to the nightclubs. Music at the pool doesn’t appeal to Americans (local music) and is very loud-had to leave the pool one day and didn’t not return other days. Also they allow smoking at the pool. The plumbing system is poor - toilets not very operational. Nice staff.

The hotel is in a good location. The rooftop pool has a great view. I paid a high resort fee, but I still couldn't enjoy my time at the pool. The pool was so dirty because the non-hotel guests, the daytime guests, threw cigarettes and alcohol into the water. It was so disappointing.

Not a Hyatt quality property. Needs massive updating since it was acquired from Thompson. All the tile in the Downtown House elevators was cracked and broken, just distressed and unsafe. JuanJo, Alex and Javy were really nice, awesome dudes. The resort fee is a joke, $34 a day and you get two bottles of water per day (go across to the Oxford and buy the same water for 30 pesos), but other than Sunday, there was no entertainment, no DJ (again DJ’s were suppose to be on Friday, Saturday and Sunday). The pool doesn’t close which is nice for a late swim, but this is a 5/10 property.

Although the room was clean and comfortable. It lacked Hyatt standards. It was hot in the room, there was 0 privacy in the bathroom due to the design, expect the yelling at 2 or 3 am may come from nearby clubs and the main elevator didn't work which forced us to walk further to use one. Otherwise, staff very nice food excellent.

Hyatt recently rebranded this property in December of 2024, so those returning to PDC might remember this as the Thompson. If you reserve the downtown location, it is literally in the middle of everything. The beach house is about 2 blocks away. Regardless of which property you reserve, you have access to both. The beach house is right on the beach. Both locations have pools and restaurants. The downtown location is adults only. The pool at the downtown location is stunning. It's an infinity pool that runs the length of the hotel, has a swim-up bar, and plenty of loungers/seating and cabana type rooms. The pool at the beach house is smaller, but also has loungers and cabanas. The staff at both locations are simply amazing and attentive. If you look closely, the downtown location does need a little maintenance and upkeep, but that is likely on its way with the rebranding. Regardless, I had not known about this property before and I will definitely be back. It's the best of both worlds being able to get a downtown vibe and beach house all at the same time.

Great place if you want to be central to everything you need. Having the bikes to use was an awesome addition. I really enjoyed my stay here and would recommend. I wouldn't stay here if you want a quiet place as you can hear the music and nightlife from the rooms, however they even provided ear plugs for those who need a quiet sleep.
