That's what this is. I have no clue what the email says, but it's pretty clear on the webpage posted by ZBigFam. Here's some of the text from that page (emphasis mine):

"Transform your work from home routine into a memorable working vacation. Abundant outdoor spaces and spacious guestrooms and suites let the family spread out. Private work areas and high-speed internet make remote work and school a breeze."

Like many hotel promotions (all brands, not just Hyatt), they sound a lot better than they turn out to be.

I picked the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort and Spa, which is driving distance from me. Using a randomly chosen week in September, I got the following rates:
  • Best Rate (pay now, 24-hour cancel for refund): $187 plus resort fee of $33 = $220
  • Work from Hyatt: (24-hour cancel): $264 with waived resort fee and $50/day in food and beverage credits
So, you can save about $6 with the Work from Hyatt package. But, that only happens if you use the entire credit every day.

Of course, maybe I chose a hotel that doesn't have a good deal. Perhaps other hotels on the list are better bargains.
