Someone asked this same question on the Andaz Maui Facebook page about Diamond suite upgrades and here was their official response:
If you use one of your four confirmed suite upgrades, we will be able to offer an Andaz Suite. However, we are unable to confirm the upgrade until we open. We certainly appreciate your patience as we prepare for opening. We hope to welcome you as a guest very soon!
So there doesn't seem to be any doubt about which room type suite upgrades will book into; they're just not allowing Diamond suite upgrades yet until they open (but you seem to be able to book suites for cash or for 33K points now).

Any good offers for Hyatt cards going on now? Have CSP and using points to get me to Maui next year (March). Wouldn't mind half a week here. I'm seeing 22k for a room, is 33k a suite for anyone or do you need status to even get the offer?
On another note... is Hyatt doing any type of diamond trial where I might be able to get a regular room and get the suite through a trial? ( I remotely remember hearing about this elsewhere)

My goal would be to get a suite the cheapest possible. I'm not sure 33k is worth it though. Thats like 2 RT business class intl. Although it's coming out to $9233 for a week. haha.
Whats the deal with the diamond upgrades? If you bought a week in a reg room, you could get a suite for the week? Or only a couple days?

Diamond upgrades let you take any paid room reservation at any rate for up to one week and upgrade it to a suite. Some hotels do not participate, but apparently this one eventually will.

Wow this is really tempting. I am currently booked @ the HR for Xmas. Would switch over to the Andaz but hate to switch, hotel not open in time, and not have any reservations left.
Any guesses if the hotel will be open by Dec? And omg, $999 a night and $1649 a night for suites. As another poster indicated, can't price kids in with a room either.

That's a pretty good deal. Does the diamond there get you any breakfast setup?

Perhaps a trip to the Newbie Lounge is in order?
