Michelle details her booking approach for the Alila Maya Koba, leveraging her Hyatt Globalist status and a category one through seven free night certificate for one night. The remaining three nights were booked with points, and she applied a suite upgrade award for additional space.
“So in December, I hit my 60 nights for Hyatt Globalist, and I earned my category one through seven free night certificate. So what I did was I booked one night at the Alila Maya Koba with that category one through seven free night certificate. And then I booked the remaining three nights just with points. And that was 79,000 points per night.”
“But I also wanted to do a suite since it was going to be the three of us, we would have more space. So I applied a suite upgrade award to the three-night portion.”
