I was told by staff that the patio furniture was meant to have cushions but none were bought by the hotel. The pieces on the patios are just the metal frames.

Tried calling them and couldn't find any availability until next October for "garden view" rooms. Even if I pay with points or points+cash and not use free nights. Had to book Hyatt regency Maui..Rep said they have tons of availability 😕

By the way, with a P&C, do I still pay the resort fee?

Yep, P+C is considered a revenue rate and you will pay the resort fee. Since they don't do DSUs here really I don't consider P+C a good use here.

With the resort fee, it's $190 for 12,500 points. So 1.52c/point. On the cusp there.

Pretty sure the straight points transaction includes room taxes...

It's always the struggle between holding and using points. I just don't have great ways to accumulate Hyatt points these days.

Why are you stuck on garden view? If you book mountain view, you'll get upgraded to garden if not partial ocean.

It appears to me that they're selling/consigning base room inventory to discounters/packagers like getarroom. Then when they aren't sold out, they open up award space/Garden View close-in (~1wk). Pretty smart way to stay within the rules but avoid most awards.
