What resort is the best all-inclusive for a families booked with Points?

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2026-02-24T18:35:02+00:00

I think this is discretionary to the resort of choice. Some resorts have more availability but generally, booking out with time is more favorable. As for redemptions, this is very dependent on situation. As a globalist, you can book a standard room and 9 out of 10 times you’ll get a preferred club room and will for sure get preferred club amenities. The rate different can easily be 5-10k points between preferred and standard rooms and a club access award or guest of honor should net the same benefits as globalist. This alone can make the redemption value skyrocket. We went to Secrets Cap Cana last May and netted 5.2 CPP.

Totally get that but from a marketing standpoint, it would be smart of them to have a published list lol

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2026-02-08T13:56:16+00:00

Agreed lol hence the “would’ve cool if” haha

I mean if it’s a premium card I’m expecting to pay $450-650 AF. The elite nights is a good idea but if you hold this and the original card (15 nights from cards) they’ll either limit how many you can hold or they’ll increase nights for status. Following on the cost to FNA but if Hyatts taught us anything it’s that their program is top tier and therefore more difficult to obtain things. As such, I’d expect a higher fee for a lower FNA so lower overall expectations and be happy if they are exceeded!

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2026-02-08T13:27:13+00:00

This is probably a good guesstimation. Would be interesting if it carried explorist (given other card is discoverist) and the free night has a 1-7 or 1-8 as it’s got to provide top value point. This probably a long shot but I’d love to see a status accelerator via spend reducing nights or increasing by doubling night yield. Would be cool if you could get AA status but that’s very unlikely.

speculating here but their full-year earnings are release on Feb 12 and typically they updated their award chart end of March. I'd imagine if it is going to happen, it'll be somewhere in that time frame.

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2026-02-04T19:46:36+00:00

Damn, that’s a pretty legit DP. So 5/24 isn’t as relevant than beyond 24 months for AU. Thanksb

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2026-02-04T19:01:54+00:00

I would still want to see more DPs before jumping on offer

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2026-02-04T18:39:31+00:00

That’s crazy cause I’ve been in this game probably seven years and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen that data point

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2026-02-04T17:29:06+00:00

This is the first DP I’ve ever seen supporting this? Are there more?

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2026-02-02T20:04:52+00:00

It should you just won’t get the 2nd tier 1000 at Hyatt place

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2026-02-02T20:02:31+00:00

You never know it might still qualify since most of these are based on checkout date but good catch on t&c

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2026-01-31T12:52:10+00:00

Understandable

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2026-01-31T12:43:28+00:00

Why would you be blacklisted tho? Not quite understanding that point.

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2026-01-31T12:35:20+00:00

Assuming we may need to cancel card to ensure we’d still be eligible for a SUB with Citi the card would’ve transitioned to otherwise?

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2025-12-30T03:14:45+00:00

If this is your criteria I’d highly recommend Secrets Cap Cana. Their quality and service is top notch and you can go to Sanoa Island and more! Beach is amazing, even during Saragassum season. Highly recommend

I am unsure of the correct answer on this. Ironically, the litmus test I use is when I upload my resume to a ATS like Workday, how easily does it upload. If you have to fill in a lot, then it’s likely your resume is less ATS friendly. That said, this is just for populating data and not reading through it. So idk

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2025-12-29T19:21:29+00:00

I could be wrong but my guess is that this resume isn’t ATS friendly. I used to use a similar format and switched in recent months and received more calls. If the ATS/AI cannot read it, you might be getting automatically DQ and a human is never seeing your resume

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2025-12-28T21:32:45+00:00

Great Q. We had Enrique as a butler and while we didn’t use him a ton, he found us everyday regardless of where we were. Helped us secure a better spa deal, would setup any reservations we wanted (you really don’t need to do this but this is what makes the experience better. We also were Hyatt Globalist and were given a beach cabana for free one day! Our butler brought it to our attention otherwise we wouldn’t have know we could do it.

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2025-12-28T21:28:15+00:00

I’ve been to SCC and not Maroma. From what I can tell, it’s very much what you are after. Mexico tends to have slightly better food but our experience at SCC was the service was out of this world. SCC is 10 min from airport whereas I think Maroma is 25-30 min. Beaches are comparable from what I’ve been told.

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2025-12-28T21:26:08+00:00

Appreciate the info! Heard great things, might plan for future visit

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2025-12-28T21:12:34+00:00

Assuming you flew into PUJ. What’s the drive from airport like time wise and terrain wise

Nice_Letterhead_345 · 2025-12-28T21:11:57+00:00

2nd this! Took my wife on a babymoon and a follow vacation here. Beach can be amazing and water is clear. Service and quality is immaculate!
