Grand Club at Hyatt Nassau
hello All
i’m new on this land, since I’m a poor Accor Plat...
Just send inquiry to Hyatt Nassau concerning Grand club access as paying guest

before to ask this hotel if they are sane or insane in mind... do you know if could be a mistake or misunderstood...or it is real cost for grand (hope is really grand ...) club at any Hyatt property ?
Thanks 😊

Sorry I asked! No Grand club is worth that extra per night.

Keep in mind Nassau is EXPENSIVE. For a full breakfast for two at resort area restaurants plan on $75. Dinner at least double. Pair that w/drinks and you'll go over $300. In theory, you could use the club to replace each of these things and come out, sort of, ahead.
That said, buying club access should never be thought of as a way to save money (at any property, in my opinion). It's a luxury item that might enhance your stay and make you feel a bit more "special." If that's worth $300 to you, then go for it.
As I'm sure you know, Hyatt offers ways to get club access for free, but that probably won't help you for this trip.

According to Hyatt.com $300 is the standard upcharge at this property. In terms of whether or not it's worth it....

for me that not only is not worth $300 x day, but it also doesn’t make any sense.
I think there is big difference between what is expensive and what is ridiculous....but it’s only my opinion.
Happy for Hyatt if they can have this policy
perhaps is only my problem to accept it, since i’m habit to free access at Sofitel’s lounges thanks to Plat membership, but even in cases I have had stays at any other hotel chain I have never seen something like that...

$300 is absolutely ridiculous! Depending on the rate you're paying for the room, it may make sense to book a Club room upgrade for a standard rate for a regular room + 3000 points per night (which cost $72 to purchase if you don't have any). Alternatively, 6000 points per night ($144) buys you a standard suite upgrade over a regular room, and 9000 points ($216) - a premium suite.

i can’t see Club rooms option to book...
i’m agree with you. It can have any sense, if togheter with club access I have also different level room,
but in this hotel the only option (if you are not entitled for free club lounge access) is to buy separately lounge access at $300/night, in addition on any kind of room.

Wow - you're right - searching random dates, there are no Club rooms available at all. Now, in most Hyatt Regencies and Grand Hyatts with a Club lounge, suite bookings get automatic club access - is this also not the case at this property? I would try reaching out to @Hyattconcierge on Twitter as it seems very shady.
Looking at available rates with “points” by APP, I have found the option you was talking about, as picture enclosed.
It seems the “club upgrade” doesn’t concerns on “club room” but simply the club lounge access upgrade available on all type of rooms
If I try to book, of course not having points, I can’t finalize the reservation, but I suppose it should work correctly if I have points

Indeed the hotel CC has confirmed me this option
3.000 points / night for grand club access, on each type of room, at standard rate (no member’s discount or advance rate, but it means “only” $100 more on 3 nights)
that’s much better than $300/night for Lounge accesa 😃
thanks a lot sch_flyer for this suggestion 👍
now I need only to earn 9.000 points .. 🤔 , or buy at $216, if no promotions on next months.
or I could really start join Hyatt. There is one nice property on small luxury hotels at convenient rates near Milan where I could stay 10 nights on next months.
