The new Hyatt rates are pretty brutal.
https://world.hyatt.com/content/gp/en/landing/award-category-chart-updates.html

Nearly all favorites are going up one or two categories.
GHK
HRM
Baha Mar
Ziva Cancun
Andaz Costa Rica etc.

Sheesh. Just looked through that, wow it's brutal. Particularly the Caribbean and Central American all-inclusives.

ETA: Hyatt places are being killed as well

Seems like in Europe most are going down a category while in the US they're going up.

I just got back from a stay at Andaz Papagayo and couldn't believe it had been a cat 4 recently. I told my wife it'll probably stay a cat 5 since they just bumped it. Haha, yeah right. Many resorts were bumped multiple categories.

Glad I just went to Ziva Cancun but can't believe how much the price is going up.

This is very painful all around

Honest question: Would people prefer Hyatt limits availability but keep lower pricing or raise the points price but keep requiring all standard rooms be made available (at least officially)?

Or some kind of hybrid like Hilton?

Not sure but it might make sense to sell the points and pay cash the way this is going.
Maybe the cash price is going up 4/1 also.

That was my first thought too. Then I realized that this likely makes the sale price lower as well.

Chicago athletic

The one and only property going up three categories (none went up more) is unsurprisingly:

Secrets Impression Moxché.

25 to 50K.

Maybe the cash price is going up 4/1 also.
Especially if you have more than two in the room. Unlike points it does not go up the same.
