Stayed here last week as a Globalist. I didn't realize their beach is not yet accessible (it's on the website, but you have to click on what looks like "resort fee" to get the details). The beach (which you need to take their boat to) is supposed to open in Q3. Apparently the repairs are extensive -- and expensive -- because they now have to build to code (instead of using their "grandfathered" status). Right now, they're a beach resort with no beach, which isn't great. Some of their "waterpark" is also still closed for repairs. Lazy river and two water slides are open, as are 2 swimming pools (including an adult pool). Overall, though, the grounds look good and don't show hurricane damage.

We got a nice upgrade to the "palm suite." Huge, tasteful and with good views and 3 balconies. Way more room than 2 people need.

Only other Globalist perks are free parking (we did "self," which is super close and easy) and breakfast. Breakfast is fine, but far from exceptional. There's an omelette guy and a reasonable buffet spread with the usual breakfast meats and sides, a few pastries and breads (not gourmet) and cold cuts/lox. I'd call it slightly-upgraded standard Hyatt Regency fare.

I would stay again when the beach is open. If I were planning on visiting this quarter, I'd call and see if the beach is actually open. Otherwise, I'd stay elsewhere. We actually drove to Bonita Springs beach to swim, but that's a solid 15 minute drive, because there are no nearby bridges from the mainland.

Also be aware that the Ritz Carlton Residences are about to be constructed immediately adjacent to the hotel. I would expect some annoying noise issues in the next year.
