Hyatt Zilira Cancun

Depends on what kind of points. If it's Chase points transferred to Hyatt (or just Hyatt points) then the Ziva Cancun is awesome, I actually liked it more than the Zilara since you can just pay a bit more to upgrade to the adults only tower and have an adults only pool. Hyatt also just purchased Secrets/Zoetry/Dreams so they are going to have a massive all-inclusive portfolio. I'm not sure about Hilton/Marriott all inclusives

If it's just points that you use on a travel portal then choices are endless

Westin Reserva Conchal Costa Rica (2019 Christmas).. fantastic property, good restaurants, and amazing spa, amazing beach but quite a lot of hawkers. I absolutely loved it and will do it again with family.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.
