Im looking to book 7 nights in July. I'm new to hyatt points thing and was just going to do the standard room in the 3rd floor. That seems to give me 1.7 cpp if I am not mistaken. That seems kinda of low for hyatt and after some research here I am wondering if I should book a suite instead? I don't have a hyatt credit card, but I can get one if that would yield me a nice room upgrade or something worthwhile. I've never been to this property or any hyatt so not sure what to expect. A suite is probably better points redemption value but its still more points spent. We're used to standard rooms so not sure the upgrade is worth it. We do enjoy eating in our rooms to save money, so it would be nice to have a dining table. An ocean view would be amazing as we don't do these kinds of trips often but I don't think you can get those with points.
The other question I have is about renting beach umbrellas. I know I have to do it ahead of time but wanted to know if its refundable? Booking so far in advance means that my plans might change and so I booked a refundable flight. So would be great to also have the beach rentals be refundable as well.
Other than that, i've learned that I can get a cab ride from airport easily for $30 or so and just wanted to confirm that I don't need any pre arranged transportation to and from the airport.
