I think I was in that room the last time. It's the one with the full kitchen, right? It was a 2 bedroom suite and had 4 lanais.
We had so much room we asked my parents to come stay with us
If they keep giving us these phenomenal suites we may never leave the hotel

Amazing suite. It has the full dining room table for 10 in front of the full kitchen, large living room, separate office/den, King master (w/ huge bath) and second bedroom with 2 twins. It occupies what I think would otherwise be the space of 6 rooms. It is considered the Presidential Suite -- on the top floor, above what used to be the Regency Club.

Actually, it's 6 lanais. I'm looking at them now.

They referred to it as the Presidential Suite. Was remodeled recently and its a super place to stay. The pans, flatware, oven, etc are top notch. Our family was super happy in this excellent suite. Each room had a balcony,, the master BR, the Study, a few in the living room, the dining room, the other bedroom.
The only negative was the small full bath off the study did not have a TO TO toilet so the daughter insisted on using the other 2 bathrooms because of the novelty. Oh well,,, we didn't mind.
If you have the extra money for this Presidential Suite I highly recommend it.
FYI: The non master bedroom houses two FULL size beds not twins.

Seriously, it was huge, and actually too big for us. I would have been happy with the old regency club, but it was occupied

It absolutely is not. Those of us posting in this thread who have received these beautiful suites are long time and regular customers. I sometimes go for at least a week twice a year.
Because they are so nice, and have some really nice things in them, I suspect that they're giving them to "known" customers rather than someone just showing up for the first time with a DSU.

As I said earlier, when I first started staying at the Hyatt, I would know exactly what was available when I checked in, asked to see the room location, and refused a room that wasn't at least ocean view if it was available.
However, given that this hotel is under a lot of pressure for free stays or C&P stays, and they're running high occupancy for a while now, it does not surprise me at all that they don't have suites or prime rooms available. When I was last there, they were at 99% nearly my entire stay.
I think your issue really should be with them not honoring the T&C rather than the management playing favorites. They are rewarding long time and frequent guests, and I'm sure every hotel out there does the same.

The not giving Diamonds the best available room in the non-suite category happens at a lot of properties, and sometimes I can even understand that with the number of Diamonds staying. Who get's the best room then, the first Diamond checking in or the frequent visitor that checks in later.... so it's a bit of a crap shoot there.

Better read those again then..... there is no "free" suite upgrade for Diamonds, and a DSU gets you the most basic suite (again without any expectations of any further upgrade).

I suggest you contact the hotel manager if that was the case. The front desk should not do such a thing. However, if you were talking about a better suite, the hotel was correct. If there was a better view room available for all the dates of your stay, they were wrong.
