Anyone ever stayed at the Rosewood Mayakoba in Playa del Carmen? What’s the best way to cash in points from CSR, AmEx, or AA for something off brand like this?

Use your Hyatt points and go to the Andaz. You still have access to the restaurants and pool at Banyan Tree, Rosewood, Fairmont, etc., and you don’t have to do as many contortions

Thanks. I actually chose to stay at Andaz part of the time then shift to the Rosewood for the rest of the trip. Abandoning points idea and sucking up cash for luxury for the birthday celebrations. Thanks for the tips! Any other tips or thoughts on the property or restaurants? Headed there Tuesday!

I went to Andaz. Same complex as Rosewood. Andaz is a basic resort compared to. Wasn’t that impressed. Rosewood is beautiful and better food.

Which you can avail yourself of from any of the other resorts in the complex, which is what we did. Based at Andaz in the two-level suite and plunge pool (love those Hyatt Diamond Suite upgrades) and bounced from place to place. Significantly less expensive way to do it. Unless money is no object. Of course the original question is about cashing in points.

Fantastic. Enjoy. Love that place. We may have caught a good week, but it was fab. May make it an annual.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?
