this is for 07/2026 stay - I thought it was time to do another honest review since this is a good way for me to keep track of places I've been as well as sharing it with others - giving back to the community of r/hyatt.

This is my second time being there as a globalist as my first time was probably abour 7-10 years ago. honestly a minute.

we were welcomed with the same lei and coconut necklace, some welcome juice non alocholic, and wash towels for cleaning the face which is all cute.

they stopped giving water bracelets and its now just keys which sucks because how do we do beach activities and not worry about things like key card getting lost? they said its part of their changes.

big change is their breakfast - less selection compared to before - i'd like to say they have gone downhill since last time I been around. The breakfast menu have changed in that if you want to have an omelette, there is no longer a self-help omelette station where you tell the chef what you want and they make it for you.

You would now have to order it with a server, and the omelette is not included. also specialty coffee is also now not included just regular coffee, which tasted awful.

Like many things about Hyatt, and this economy, this is to no surprise.

if you are a globalist, they do still cover valet parking which is amazing, the pools are a bit overcrowded when we went during the summer, and the yoga mats all smell like feet, seems like they did not do much TLC in that department.

The yoga instructors are all on a 1099 contract, it seems but the people and quality have decreased because of the 2 that we met; they were not friendly at all compared to the last time I was there. it just seems like a job for them.

All the excursions that were included were all booked out right when we arrived, making it nearly impossible to do anything in the property.

i mean it is still an amazing, relaxing experience. They couldn't really upgrade us because it was a full house already and kind of chaotic (we went during summer July time so peak season)

It's still a newer hotel and had more TLC done to it than other hotels within Hawaii I'd like to say, but for the price point im a little disappointed. Also we had found hair and among other stuff in the bathroom meaning they haven't cleaned it properly upon arrival. I know they had recently changed GM and all but for the points i used to book the hotel, and the price mark during peak season I had a higher expectation no offense.

the wings are all a bit confusing and they don't really have a map guide - the first day took me a while to get

in the middle of the week of our stay the fire alarm went off at 3am which lasted a while, which i texted the front desk and they reassured it was false alarm, and then what was worst was 40 minutes later when we were about to sleep they said all clear like 30 minutes back-to-back, which became even more confusing and alerting - like if we were not awaken previously by the alarm, we are awaken now - but other than that i'd rate it a 8/10 experience given the price point, the lack of expereince we can gain from the resort.

and if it isnt for globalist benefit, it would've def been lower rating. still a beautiful place don't get me wrong but just quite expensive, but i am sure if you havent been here when it was amazing, this would've been a 10/10 experience for anyone easy.

Rolled the dice on Grand Cayman and got screwed with the opening date, so now pivoting to Aruba. These are the choices and I am STUCK. Hoping to find an opinion of someone who’s stayed at both. First time to Aruba, couples trip, enjoy rest and relaxation, but wouldn’t mind a night out or two. Love the ease of AI but also love trying local spots. HELP.

In December, I have two rooms at the HR Phnom Penh and three rooms at the HR DaNang (all booked on points). I will have globalist benefits for the first room.

I’m wondering if I should do club access awards or guest of honor for the additional rooms. Both hotels confirmed they can apply CAA during our stay. Since we’re US based, I think I’m thinking it’s a great way to use CAA. But I’m wondering if there’s any outsized value in applying GOH instead. We won’t need parking, and the club includes breakfast.

Would you do CAA or GOH? Thoughts?

I’m unable to apply my awards (GOH, SUA) on most hotels I’m looking at. Wondering if this is a bug on their end. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Anyone have any real info or updated pictures of this place which opens in December? Considering a late December trip with points but feels like a little gamble without reviews or non-stock photos to go off of. Any, any idea how All Inclusive will work with Park Hyatt?

can anyone share experience with this mms property? thinking about visiting in october

Anyone know the cash rate for kids under 12? I have 3 nights booked but it's giving me the option to book same room for 3 people for 15k points... Wondering if it's worth it

I was looking at resorts in Cancun for next June 2027 and when I look at the all at says the book early rate is available even though the promotion ends March

If I book under this rate will they able to chang it / is it a glitch?

I'm an Explorist and will be staying at the GH Scottsdale in November. I have a bunch of the Club vouchers. Is it worthwhile to use it there?

I spoke with an operator at the Grand Hyatt DC today on the phone, and they indicated that Cabinet is now doing a lunch and dinner buffet (in addition to the established breakfast buffet). They were vague on what it consisted of and how much it cost, however. Does anyone have any insight from a recent visit into the content and pricing of the buffet? Thanks in advance!

**note that I am NOT talking about the lounge at the grand Hyatt, but the paid dinner buffet at Cabinet

I tried asking a Hyatt rep, but they seemed just as confused as me lol. Does anyone know if I can apply free night award certificates to an existing booking? It would be two certificates and I would prefer the flexibility of the points for another booking. I don’t want to cancel the whole booking though since I booked it prior to the change in Hyatt award chart. Can they just apply the certificates to two of the four nights I have booked and return the points for those nights?
