Thanks for the report, sch_flyer. We were a little disappointed with the food/beverage at the Dreams Tulum. We're not food snobs, but we like good food, and are familiar with world cuisines. So we could go to the Mexican restaurant at the Dreams and really appreciate it, but then go to the French restaurant and laugh at their fairly feeble efforts. Same with the beverages. I'm not a cocktail aficianado, but the margarita I was served at the Dreams' pool bar was basically undrinkable. Fortunately, as a Hyatt Globalist, we had free access to their premium bar, and the drinks there were good (although the margarita was not as good as what was made for me at the Cancun Intercontinental executive lounge).

So we're familiar with the imperfections of all inclusive "cusine." I would say that, at the Hyatt Zoetry level, the food can be very good, and would highly recommend their Villa Rolandi property on Isla Mujeres (which is now, sadly, not as good a deal)

That said, at 27000 points, the Grand Palladium still sounds like an excellent deal for a nice winter vacation.
