The rates are loaded for the six Cancun resorts per today's email. Trying random dates for next March, most resorts price at 29,000 points per night which is the same as the Ziva and Zilara. Two of the Dreams resorts are 23,000/night. Given that the Zoetry is over $1100 a night for those dates, that's not bad value for points.

29k for $600 isn’t terrible value, but it’s not particularly great either.

And, FTers say that Hyatt's brand names don't make sense. I'd rather keep my Secrets and my Dreams to myself.
JK, this is likely a positive development, despite my inexperience in the all-inclusive space.

The part that I don’t find positive about all of this is the lack of notice for the changes to the existing All Inclusive properties. At least one (Ziva Puerto Vallarta) effectively increased in category with zero notice. Not a good sign.

58K Points Peak night/50k Points standard at an all-inclusive at a Category F hotel???? That can't be right...
This is definitely a point-sink Hyatt has introduced.
also idk how I feel about spending that much points at a category "F" hotel..

These rates sound similar to the Miraval rates, correct? Definitely a points sink, but make sense for people who are into these kind of stays. I'm not sure how nice a Category F resort must be, but if the CPP makes sense, I won't complain.
