Let me start by saying I’m generally not one to write reviews of Hyatt properties. Over the years, I’ve typically enjoyed the service and benefits Hyatt offers. However, my recent stay at Wild Dunes was the worst vacation experience I have ever had. I’m curious if anyone else here has had a bad experience at this Hyatt property.

I travel accross the US frequently, and I’ve never seen such a greedy business. This is coming from someone who regularly stays at luxury properties.

1. Minor, but the elevator was way too slow. Had to take stairs multiple times.

2. The coastal provisions restaurant in the lobby had too limited of a menu, and the food was not great at all.

3. Overall, resort staff were indifferent and not friendly. They seemed like they hated their jobs. Was not pleased with the level of service for this level of resort. I guess I should’ve stayed at the Ritz Carlton or Four Seasons.

4. I stayed here through Amex Hotel collection. What bothered me the most was the amount of hidden fees at this resort is over the top. I’ve been accross the world, and this resort blatantly exploits the ignorance of the guests.

5. Kids were in the adult only pool. Pool was not clean (I have a pool, so I know what is clean).

It’s not about the money for me, but automatically being forced to tip an additional 20% for horrible chicken tenders at a beachside bar is ludicrous and greedy as hell. What even is a beach nourishment fee?

Will never return and will tell many friends to never stay here. 0/5.

I’m planning a trip to the San Diego area in October using points. Planning for a six night trip, activities will include hiking, going to the zoo, and relaxing (pool or beach). I’m debating staying at the Grand Hyatt only or splitting the stay between Grand Hyatt and Mission Pacific in Oceanside, three nights at each. I will have a rental car. Is it worth it to change hotels when they are only 45 minutes apart? Or is a day trip up the coast enough? Any insight would be appreciated!

Got an email for it, TLDR: Hyatt member can go watch tennis and drink cocktails.
Hyatt credit card holders get access to fancy lounge in the venue with fancier cocktails(?).
Date is 8/29/26 10:30 AM – 6:30 PM.
Lcoation is 19 Fulton St NYC.

Here's a website I found that talks about it, couldn't find any other mentions online.

Hi friends, my question is the title. Looking for suggestions on places to stay that are reasonably affordable for a month long stay. Any county any city.

I know Rio in Las Vegas can have some great what prices but the weekends and event pricing are all over the place. I've seen old posts talking about HP Yentai and some places in Mexico but there's no posts from this year.

What status were you when you stayed? Did you talk to a manager to get a better price? Would you go spend another 30 nights there straight?

I have some freetime coming up and have no where I need to be so I figured I'd see what experiences y'all have to share!

Thanks in advanced!

Can anyone speak to the recent globalist experience here? I saw that originally it was not bad, then they removed the lounge and the breakfast offerings but recently brought somethings back because of all the negative feedback they were getting. We booked here for a couple days in October.

I have a reservation for 7 days that overlaps a weekend. Without checking out, could I check into another property in the middle of the stay for say 2 nights. Check out of the 2 night stay, then go back to my original hotel? I don’t care ton much about earning the points or qual nights at the 2 night property, just want to stay at the Hyatt brand and use my benefits as a globalist. Is this possible?

There is an evacuation-status change this afternoon. At 1:25 p.m. Pacific on August 18, officials downgraded MRY-F026 from a mandatory evacuation order to an evacuation warning; F026 was one of the zones originally placed under mandatory evacuation when the area around Alila Ventana was evacuated. MRY-F027 remains under a mandatory evacuation order, however, so this is not yet an all-clear for the immediate Ventana area. 

There is also encouraging news on the fire itself: the Timber Fire is now 5,269 acres and 21% contained. Fire activity was minimal overnight and all containment lines held. I still find no confirmed fire damage to Alila Ventana Big Sur. Highway 1’s northern closure has also been moved south to just south of Alila Ventana and Post Ranch Inn at mile marker 44.5, another indication that conditions immediately around the resorts have improved. 

So: Alila Ventana appears to have made it through without reported structural damage, and evacuation restrictions around it are beginning to ease — but the resort is not yet in a full all-clear situation.

So I a booked Hyatt for 2 nights at 40k points on the old point grid and now I only need 1 night. I called my globalist concierge if I can change that. She said sure but you wud hv2 rebook at the new rate 55k. Is this true?

What if I checked in and asked the front desk when I checked in if they wud let me cancel the 2nd night(it says 1day cancellation 11:59p day before) think that wud work?

I'm about to book some nights and see that I'll get to the next status level during my stay. Will the new benefits kick in mid stay, if not, should I break my stay into two reservations with the first one ending after I qualify and the second beginning with the new status?

Hello! We are going to India this November to visit family. We will be staying with extended family at the Hyatt Place Hyderabad for 4 nights of the trip and that seems to be an excellent location for some things for wanting to do in the area.

My husband, toddler, MIL, and I will stay 2 extra nights after extended family leave town. We are trying to decide if we just stay those last two nights at the Hyatt Place or if we move to the Park Hyatt. We could move hotels for just 4,000 more points per night, but is it worth the transfer? What are pros and cons to moving or staying put at the Hyatt Place?

The Gachibowli hotel looks beautiful, but we would have to book an extra room there to accommodate three adults. This is just one part of a 3 week international trip so we want to be a little more conservative with our points/dollars.

As the title suggests, I'm wondering if this is still possible. I've read through older threads detailing guests doing this, but I'm curious to hear about some more recent data points.

Prior to the deval I booked a 2 night stay at The Beekman in December on points. My original plan was to do 2 days at The Beekman and then 2 days at PHNY. That said, the purpose of the trip is to celebrate a huge moment in our lives, so now that I've accrued some additional points I'm thinking about booking a 3rd night at The Beekman.

Do any of you have recent experience doing something similar? IF so, what should we expect and what is the best way to ensure the link is done properly? Are the top-tier hotels generally receptive to this kind of request. Thanks in advance!

Heading to NOLA in January and have 2 C1-4 certs to burn. Should I stay at HC French Quarter, HR NOLA, or The Barnett? I am 21 years old and looking to bar crawl and just explore. First time NOLA.

TIA

Booked a business trip(via Navan) to Galleria Park Hotel in San Francisco. I gave Navan my membership account number, however i don't see the reservation on hyatt.com. I naively thought there was some IT issues.

I paid the bill with my credit card at the front desk, and on the bill I can see that it was a standard rate. However 4 days after checking out I still don't see the bonus points posted.

Called hyatt customer service, after some research the lady realized that even though Galleria Park Hotel is listed on hyatt.com, it actually does not participate in world of hyatt rewards program. Really surprising to learn that. It's a confusing/frustrating/deceitful experience to see a hotel advised on hyatt.com but does not participate in its rewards program

Deciding between the Hyatt Centric The Liberties Dublin and The Mont (MMS) in Dublin, Ireland. I assume my status will go farther for early/late check in/out at the Hyatt Centric, but The Mont's location might be more ideal. Welcome any thoughts!

Nothing actually bad happened to me and the actual staff was fine but....

• Understaffed - always a line at the front.
• Fruit flies in dining area. Coffee area had at least 100 next to the coffee dispensers.
• Had smaller than normal coffee cups no lids for to go. Assume cost savings by not getting branded cups?
• My Shower 3 piece dispenser was broke and everything fell on my toes.
• No mini bar up front (placery?) that you come to expect. Had a few sprites and oj's thats it. Was clear they operated a bar at one point but had all the seats turned sideways so you wouldnt sit there and clearly was in disrepair.
• I went to the work out in Valley Forge with a group at 5:15am and 2 get my 2 free waters before I left at 4:40am was a challenge.
• One night me and another Hyatt Loyalist seemed to be waiting 20 minutes to get our 2 waters and the lady at the front who was the only one working had a nightmare I guess the whole pool emptied out.
• One day I left for work at 7am and when I got back at 6 pm the same pizza box was sitting in the hallway by the elevator table meaning no staff had the wherewithal to take it with the garbage.

I booked a four night stay with a SUA with points. I’m realizing now that some of the nights I’d rather pay cash due to a lower cash rate and some nights I’d like to keep it as points. I have an SUA applied and the suite is no longer available and I’m scared that if I cancel it, it will not be available for me to rebook.

Would it be possible to switch it to pay your way instead of a full points booking without losing the suite booking? Is it even possible to use a SUA on a pay your way reservation (I’m seeing conflicting info on this)

I am looking to book a standard room with points but the points calendar only shows suite options in the drop down & I can’t find a single opening for a standard room. Do they sell them with points still?
