Hotel: JW cancun
Incident: 1- called to confirm I will be arriving at 11:30am and wanted to check-in then (4:00 official check-in time) they made us wait till 4:00pm
2- wife was alone in room at night & staff came in for turn-down service even though she franitcally yelled not to come in (we never ordered turn-down & she was petrified i mexico when someone starts coming in to room claiming to bring chocolates which we never ordered)
Status: Platnuim

It was a nightly turn-down service that we were unaware of & guess because of language barrier the guy wasn't getting it- either way he freaked out my wife

I had a DSU Confirmed in the Hyatt Andaz 5th Ave for NY Eve. I booked through Gold Passport. Apparently the rep confirmed without making sure there was availability in the property. Basically I call in the morning before my arrival, and they say that they are booked up. No DS for me.

Manager was all apologetic and arrange a nice regular room, and gave me 6K points (amount for suite upgrade) for future stay.

I feel that's not enough!

Who shall I turn to?
What shall I ask for?

2 fire alarms very early morning hours over the weekend & I got for my grandparents 50,000 HGP points in the Hyatt Palm Springs. They originally only wanted to give 10,000. Bargained with them. Happened exactly a year ago

Stayed at a Hyatt with the family and at 4:00 am they gave my room to someone else who opened the door (it got caught by the latch).  Kids were screaming, wife freaked out.  Manager apologizes profusely and says what can i do to make it right.  Beyond refunding the points for the night, what's a reasonable request?  20K?
The manager threw a refund at me right away.  I think I'll take your advice and try to get my status upgraded from plat to diamond as well...
Really cool thread.
What ended up happening? This so far seemed to be the most serious issue...

I believe in the SPG website there's a fork to fill out and they got back to me then next day.

Guys, i need your advice. Booked 2 nights at Hyatt in Abu Dhabi. I'm Platinum. Checked in late at night, slept one night and left hotel for a tour at 8.30 a.m. I got back to the hotel only at 11.10 p.m. dreaming about taking a bath and relaxing after a very enhanced day. But there was no hot water in the room!! Called the reception and was told there will be no hot water from 11 p.m. till 2.30 a.m. Nobody notified me in advance. Apparently there was a note left in my room during the day. I haven't seen it up utill talking to reception since i was away the whole day.
What is a reasonable compensation to request for such inconvenience?  I ended up showering in a cold water and obviously didn't take a bath :(
