My husband and I love to try to sneak in some couple time when we are on a family vacation.  We can tell you firsthand that Camp Hyatt is a great guilt-free way to make sure that the kids are entertained while you get some "us" time.  On one of our trips, we checked the kids into Camp Hyatt and simply stayed in our room and ordered a room-service breakfast and read the Sunday paper. There is nothing better than knowing that the kids are being well cared for - and entertained - so you can relax. Afterall, that is what makes a family vacation a fun vacation. I always say, "Happy Kids Make Happy Parents!" and vice versa!
