The settings are really different. Are you looking for a total resort getaway in a (semi) natural setting or more of a Mexican beach town experience? I prefer the latter, but it's a matter of personal taste.

so the work from hyatt private workspace is a desk in the restaurant? while other customers are being served? Also, why are the ocean view and beach front studios more expensive than the lagoon and beach (standard suites) even though they are smaller?

Personally I really like the Andaz’s lagoon pool. It’s broken up into a few smaller pools that are separated so you can usually find a quieter / empty pool. There’s also a nice fire pit in the evenings.

Does anyone know if the Andaz Mayakoba requires a minimum room type to upgrade to a suite with points? Seeing some great rates throughout 2021 with the Work From Hyatt offer (~$190 base rate with 20% off food and beverage, daily breakfast, and roundtrip airport transportation) and I'd like to book a king room and upgrade to a standard beach area suite with points.
Was hoping the all-inclusive Open Kitchen offer would be good but it's a full $270 greater than the base rate for my mid-summer dates. Booking with the hope that we'll be able to get vaccinated by then.

If you've got TSU though, those are able to be applied to basically any rate/room..

The points upgrade (not TSU) requires a specific rate. I don't think it's a particular room type (but it might be that as well). Essentially you need to pay the standard rate in order to upgrade with points IIRC.

In order to redeem a Suite Upgrade Award at a Hyatt resort, a Member must pay the Standard Rate for a minimum of a deluxe room (such as partial ocean view, ocean view, slope view, Dreamcatcher or Sunrise room, etc.).

Standard rate is the one listed as standard on website - not member, aaa, some promo etc- it is usually the most expensive but not by much. Room type is more murky - you ll have to call to check. Sometimes direct booking suite with promo rate is cheaper, sometime the upgrade process. Upsell is definitely smth worth exploring too.

Is that requirement/term something new?
I've booked a member rate Lagoon King room before (i.e. one of, if not the, cheapest/most basic room categories), maybe 2-3 years ag,) and used points to upgrade to a Lagoon King Suite.

Seems like that might be the minimum room type required if you were able to upgrade using points from it; it's one step up from the standard rooms so that'd fit with the Terms I posted above.
