Does anyone have any experience with the kids club here? Is it included in the price of a room (at the nearby Andaz it is, but eating seems likely to be so much more expensive there that we're planning to stay at GH even if we have to pay for kids club). Any reviews or thoughts are appreciated. We're planning on a trip in early November, which I'm hoping should be less crowded time of year.
Current prices, per kid ages 4-12:
Full day Camp US$65
Half day Camp US$35
Hour US$15
*Night Camp US$45
* Friday & Saturday, 6:00 pm - 9:45 pm, dinner included
Prices in USD.

Hi Everyone,
I saw the transportation options in the Wiki. I'm wondering if anyone decided to rent a car at the Cancun airport to drive to the Grand Hyatt and to keep for the duration of their stay?
1. Better/same/Worse to rent Mexican car rental company versus National, Avis, etc.?
2. How much is self-parking at the Grand Hyatt?
Someone also mentioned they used Uber from the airport to the Grand Hyatt? How much does that rate cost?
Thanks!!

We used this company to book our shuttle from the airport to the Hyatt and back. It was very easy finding them upon arrival. The drivers were polite and professional and the vehicles were very clean. It was about $50 each way for 4 or us. If you are to drive, it's nearly a straight shot down the main road from the airport until you get to Playa del Carmen.

Parking at the GH Playa is valet with full in/out privileges for 105MXN/day. I don't recall an option to self-park.
I rented with Hertz as I was a President's Circle member with them. Booked 5 days in advance, and got a 2dr compact car at an absurdly low 68MXN/day. Watch the CC Auth though- Found out they authorized my card for 1100 USD on the rental. Call to Hertz corporate claimed that's "normal policy" if you decline their insurance while in Mexico.
Overall, it ended up being $26 USD for the car and parking, which was less than the shuttle services we looked up.
I think the funniest part was that I paid more to park the car each night than I did to rent it.

My understanding is that the rental rate is usually very low but that the insurance is usually 2x or more of the rate.

I used the Chase United MP Club Card, which has the same rental car coverage as the Sapphire.
