I was there in late July and did some work from the Beach Suites. I didn't conduct any speed tests but had no issues with video conferencing and day trading(TOS). I'm fairly confident you'll be fine. To be safe, perhaps bring your own hotspot?

Thanks. Were you able to work outside the room and if so how were the speeds.

Does anyone have experience of the "Work From Hyatt" set up here? I'm mainly curious about how they handle the upgrade and "separate work space" - a suite upgrade, an adjoining room, space in their event/conference center, etc.

Currently seeing a “Last Minute Getaway” Rate which says “Tax Excluded Booking”.
Does this mean the VAT and Occupancy Taxes are being waived? Asking because it still shows them on the checkout page.

No, this means that tax is excluded and not included in the rate. "Booking" is on the next line and refers to the booking window, hence in ALL CAPS.

From what I’ve seen there is typically:
Environment Tax
Value Added Tax
Occupancy Tax
Resort Fees
Service Charges or Service Contributions
So are any of these being removed through this offer? Or are you saying there’s another completely separate tax that’s somehow being removed? I’ve checked dates from now through April and they have all the above taxes/fees then the dates May onward also show the same taxes/fees.
Just trying to better understand as it looks like those taxes and fees add up to a hefty 30% (or more) of the Subtotal, making the grand total much larger.

I understand the booking period but I’m still unclear as to what you’re saying.

So with this rate it sounds like nothing is really being “excluded” as looking at this rate vs. the standard rate both show the same exact taxes/fees.
