First reservation: Phone agent confirmed suite upgrade and issued email confirmation showing upgraded suite while still on the phone. However, the email confirmation alarmingly showed the full cash rate (standard rate) for the suite - not the originally booked base room. 1 hour after the call, I received a new email confirmation showing the upgraded suite at the original rate for the base room.

Second reservation: Phone agent confirmed suite upgrade and issued email confirmation showing original room type while still on the phone. "Preferences and Policies" section includes "SUITE UPGRADE AWARD", and the "Cancellation Policy" section includes "Additional Information: SUITE UPGRADE CONFIRMED". However, no mention of which suite type - which matters because this property has two types of standard suites. No new emails as of 24 hours later.

Third reservation: Phone agent confirmed suite upgrade, but no email confirmation during call or after. When viewed in the Hyatt app, the reservation shows the original room type with no mention of the suite upgrade anywhere. The agent assured me the upgrade was confirmed and that an "offline team" (perhaps this new resorts and luxury department?) would send me an email confirmation within 72 hours.

You really can't make this stuff up...
I have experienced another option: Requested TSU via MHC and asked for suite with 2 beds. MHC phoned with hotel and a 2nd room was attached to reservation. after multiple back and forth emails to realls confirm, that I have the standard suite with 2 beds and not just a 2nd room attached (e.g. a "hospitality suite").
Reservation is for November only, so can only then report back what I actually got.
hotel is the HR Coconut Point, and the Bay Suite.
