Family, fun and travel…the trick is getting all the fun with all of the family; especially when considering kids and the many toys they play with and must have.  Hyatt Resorts has created a program making it much more convenient for the kids to have their toys and for there to be fun with the full family.  “Traveling with children is a unique challenge, and bringing their favorite toys can be even trickier”, said Carlos Cabrera, senior vice president of field operations, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts.  As a continued focus on family travel, Camp Hyatt was one of the first resort programs created especially for kids, which offers fun, hands-on activities focusing on the culture, history and geography of a particular resort’s surroundings. 

In addition to Camp Hyatt, Hyatt Resorts has recently announced the launch of their new Toy Box program, a family friendly amenity designed to remove some of the challenges faced by parents when traveling with children.  The program is such that when arriving at a participating Hyatt Resort in the U.S. and Caribbean, families will be able to review the Toy Box book which lists 24 toys available for complimentary check-out during their stay.  The box is powered by Toy Tips, a leading toy testing group that thoroughly reviews toys independently through their Toy Tips Research Institute.  This program is a great addition to the brand’s already family friendly amenities where programs such as a dedicated Kids Concierge, and partnership with Babies Travel Lite, a program that delivers baby products directly to the hotel and resort(s).

The Toy Box considers the many age groups of children and caters to that age groups interest areas; divided into four different age groups…toddler, preschool, school age and tween.  The Toy Tips Box is filled with everything from LEGO® to Tonka trucks to board games. Each toy is accompanied by a detailed toy-report card with ratings of developmental skills children of the four age groups will be learning during play. With the Hyatt Resorts Toy Box, children of all ages can have a fun-filled vacation with toys at their fingertips, helping parents to alleviate the burden of packing and carrying extra luggage. 

At the end of your families stay, the toys are returned, thoroughly inspected for any broken pieces and are then cleaned with Toy Tips Toy Cleaner, a non-chemical, eco-friendly cleaner, before it is checked out by the next guest.
