Could this be the new champion of the Hyatt Diamond Breakfast world and possibly beat out the lemon poppy seed pancakes or the home made donuts from the Hyatt 48 & Lex? We’ve had some great Hyatt Diamond breakfasts in our day, like the one at the Park Hyatt in Buenos Aires, or the one at the Park…
Late last year we were upgraded to a Casita Suite at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay. The room was amazing and had just gone through a complete renovation. It was complete with all the bells and whistles, including a wine fridge. But the rest of the hotel hadn’t gone through a renovation yet, the restaurant…
After our last stay in the Casita Suite, we decided to revisit the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay on our way to the beach. It was only for 1 night, was super convenient to town, and the hotel is completely renovated. So it was a no brainer to choose this hotel. The evening happy hour was…
There are a total of 7 Hyatt Hotels with casinos. The locations range from beach to mountains to wine country. So if you like to partake in a game of chance but don’t like the lights of Vegas, there are some great options in the Hyatt Hotel chain. I’ve found some great rates in low…
It’s Friday, and if you’re like me you can’t wait for the weekend. That got me thinking where are some good long weekend destinations to go to. There are plenty of options from city hotels, mountain hotels, hotels with casinos and of course beaches. That’s when I realized that the Andaz Peninsula Papagayo in Costa Rica…
This weekend I stayed at the Hyatt Regency Long Island hotel which is located in Hauppauge, NY about 55 miles outside of NYC. The property is only a Category 2 property meaning free nights start at 8,000 points or for $55 plus 4,000 points. I decided to book the Points + Cash rate, since I would…

From now through May 31, 2014 Hyatt Gold Passport members can double their points on reservations made in advance with participating properties. The trick is that you have to book the reservation using a “Double Points” rate, something which often makes me second guess if I’m actually getting a good deal or not. How To…
Pretty much all you would have to tell me about this place is that it has a private island in a preserve and I can redeem only 20,000 Hyatt points per night in a regular room, 27,000 in a Hyatt Regency room or 32,000 Hyatt points per night in a Bay Suite in prime winter season. The…
If I told you that you could access a private island in a preserve all on Hyatt points, in Florida, would you believe me? Most people think of great beaches, especially Hyatt ones, as out of the country, like the Hyatt Regency Aruba or the Park Hyatt Maldives. But you can access one of Hyatt…
One of the things I look for in a hotel is one that serves Champagne upon arrival. There is just something that says relax, you’ve made it here when you are handed a glass of champagne. As a result of taking notes during our travels, we have a few Hyatt hotels that are on our…

Now I’ve received my first invitation to a cooking demonstration at a Hyatt with an Executive Chef. It’s an interesting concept. Connect with your loyal customers (in this case best is defined…

It’s the beginning of the new year and many of the hotel companies are kicking of their first quarter promotions, so it’s a good idea to register for all of them, because you never know where you might end up. Current Hotel Promotions Round-Up Here’s a run down of what each chain is offering: Hyatt…
I’m currently staying at the Andaz Maui at Wailea, and this property reconfirmed that my favorite Hyatt Diamond benefit is the complimentary breakfast. The buffet breakfast here runs for $45 each, but as Hyatt Diamond members you receive up to 4 complimentary full breakfast buffets, meaning you could save $180 per day. I just finished…
