is it possible this hotel totally sells out at the 13 month mark? I’ve tried individual dates and date ranges between one the 21st and 27th of December for 2024.
With this Hyatt hotel (and some other popular Hyatt hotels), they seem to set a minimum number of nights (that is not directly stated) during popular times of the year. A search of Dec 19 to Dec 28 shows rooms available for 1/2points and half cash. But a search for Dec 20 to Dec 28 shows no rooms available for points/cash. I've gotten around this by booking the longer stay then calling Hyatt to reduce the number of nights. But it's always a problem, because when they try to book with less days it won't let them, but they say there is no minimum required. They generally have to contact the hotels reservation manager to have the issue fixed. As a globalist the Hyatt concierge can be a big help with this type of issue.
