We just returned from spending a week there and had a great time ... we will definitely be going back !
We were at the North end of the island on a Marriott property. Don't remember where I saw the Hyatt but I think it was in the hotel district (vs. being closer to Oranjsted).
We had a rental car so we did our own touring (Lighthouse, Baby Beach, Natural Bridge, Gold Smelting Ruins, Rock Formation, etc...). Unfortunately the natural pool is only accessible via a jeep tour.
Plenty of watersport activities available on the beach (parasailing, jet skis, etc...) or you can check out De Palm Tours and/or Red Sail Sports for other options (catamaran cruises, snorkeling trips, etc...).
You traveling with kids ? Even if not, you still might want to check out De Palm Island ... all inclusive day trip (either full or half day) with food, drink, snorkeling and water park. Snuba and underwater walk are extra but worth it. We really enjoyed the day we spent there and it was a great way to introduce our kids to snorkeling.
Sunsets are around 6:45 so lots of time for evening fun.
Feel free to PM me with any specific questions.
Hope you enjoy it ... we wish we were still there
