Re: the missing credit for the fourth night. I did a free night promo at the Grand Hyatt Erawan last year and didn't get credit for the night that was free either so I believe you getting credit for 3 nights only is correct unfortunately =( Hyatt told me it's because I didn't pay for that night so I shouldn't receive credit. Maybe you'll be luckier than me if you decide to escalate it.
For the restaurant spa spend, does the link still work that has a list of all the properties that allow for points? You can see if you can find that link and see if PH St Kitts is on it. Not sure if that list applies though. I can't find the thread at the moment, but if you do a search, you should find it. I don't know if that list is kept up to date though.

Has anybody who's stayed recently had an "Eligible Spend" issue at this property?
Just got back last week from 4 nights utilizing the 4th night free promo rate. Total folio was around $2300 but my eligible spend was only ~$1300. Looks like they disqualified everything but the room rate, although even that doesn't match up exactly with what the rate/tax/service was. Also for nights credit I only got 3 instead of 4.

Service charge on free breakfast..
One thing you should consider at this property , even if you have free breakfast (globalist, prive‘ booking) you have to sign the bill for the great house selection, which is 45$ ++. At checkout they will remove the 45$ and the taxes, but you still have to pay the service charge.
You should consider this, when adding an additional tip to the breakfast bill.
Don‘t know if this is a special St. Kitts things, never had this at any Hyatt before...

We made bookings via my Virtuoso/Hyatt Prive besvisor, and there are three of us in the room. Two adults and our eight year old. Room rate did not change, both in his booking and the previous dummy bookings I made, but I noticed only $600 in credits on the confirmation. Should it read $900? We just have a lead in room. This place plus four nights at the FS makes for a really affordable luxury getaway.

We weren’t charged a service charge for breakfast. Maybe a mistake?

Tipping?
Have a stay coming up in October and am worried about the food prices. I understand there is a VAT and then a “Service Charge”. Are you expected to then tip on top of this? And if so, should we be tipping the customary 15%? 15% is definitely a US thing and St Kitts is not in the US but I assume most guests are from the US and are tipping the 15% anyway.
What have you tipped if any at restaurants there?

Booked a 4 night stay this fall. Managed to pay $1464 w/ tax & service fee, and secure the Sea View Suite room w/ confirmed suite upgrade. On top of this, $300/pp resort credit, and of course, globalist receive free breakfast as well. I figured with the resort credit, free breakfast, and confirmed suite upgrade; this hotel seems like a decent enough value.
FWIW, at the same time I am booking, the FS Nevis is going for $420/nt, with discounts, the PH SK is quite a bit cheaper. I hope to get 4-5 meals out of the $300/pp resort credit.
Anyone know if the pool at the PH SK is going to get heated anytime soon? And how the temps of the pool might be in November?
