Fodor's Expert Review Hyatt Suncadia Resort

Set on a ridge overlooking the Cle Elum River, with spectacular views of the pine-covered Cascade Mountains, this upscale 6,000-acre resort offers elegant rooms in a stone-and-wood lodge, most with gas fireplaces. There's a slew of amenities, including the superb Glade Spring Spa, set amid lush gardens and offering a full menu of treatments, massages, and facials. You'll also find indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs, saunas, a spacious exercise room, an amphitheater that doubles as an outdoor skating rink in the winter, two of the region's premier golf courses, and 40 miles of hiking and biking trails. Portals restaurant serves inventive Pacific Northwest fare, and there are several other dining options on the property.
