HGP does not require their hotels to provide P+C availability, unlike making all standard rooms available for awards.

However, if they do open P+C, and there is a standard suite, the hotel must accept the DSU.

From multiple calls and first hand experience at Andaz papayago, this is not the case. There is apparently a special basket for suites upgrades on P+C awards.

HUCA
did so many times...

The hotel advised that I could pay them an extra $150 per night for the upgrade, but they wouldn't allow me to use the DSU. I called HGP numerous times and they consistently said "it's up to the hotel."

This has been a several month process. Of course now, the suites actually are sold out, so there's nothing to do but hope for a last minute cancelation.

Just want to comment anecdotally that the much touted and discussed ability to apply a DSU to P+C awards is over-rated. Good luck finding available inventory at any of the desireable award sweetspots. Andaz Maui completely blocks p+c altogether. Andaz Papagayo refused to apply it after I finally confirmed a p+c award. Hyatt coconut point also refuses to apply it to anything but a full paid rate, even though there are still plenty of open suites one week out. GHK still seems to be pretty good about opening space, but I wouldn't be surprised if that ends soon.
I can say from personal experiance, that both maui, and costa rica, have accepted, dsu on cash and points. That mave changed, but data point.

Data point: I think now Hyatt gives the diamond amenity for award (points) nights. So now a cat 3 Hyatt night will cost only 8600 instead of 12,000. (20% off + 1000 bonus points)

Are you referring to the 1k diamond amenity (500 at hyatt place)?
I have never not gotten it on an award stay when i requested it in the last 4 years I've been a diamond. Any time it didn't post i submitted a request for it and got 150% of it (which is the policy)

ETA: if i must prove it, here is a link from 2010 where the HGP representative on FT confirms it - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/hyatt-gold-passport/1095802-diamond-amenity-points-award-stay.html

Make sure they also add the bonus for the hotel not automatically posting it.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

No kosher perks or food. For diamond, they just gave me a list of "kosher" places in the area.

Just noticed i had a reservation booked for the wrong days that i had used an expiring DSU on. I was lucky enough to get them to change the dates and still keep the DSU (no longer a diamond).

Crazy how the benefits can be so drastic from one hotel to the next.
From my research, Andaz Maui offers breakfast (nothing for Kosher, so perhaps you can get some sort of compensation), a couple of bucks off the spa and no unique complimentary benefits.

Anyone know anything I left off the list?
