Some hearsay Hyatt input... (by KC):

I can't and won't answer or elaborate for the vague complaint posted by "scally" above -- and I don't own within Hyatt. One of my close friends does, however, and he certainly seems to like what he owns and speaks (mostly) favorably about the Hyatt system overall. The only "negatives" he has ever shared with me are as follows:

1. Obscenely expensive to purchase. Even resale prices seem extraordinarily high (a fact which I have observed for myself in watching numerous eBay auctions for resale Hyatt weeks). For very high quality facilities, perhaps this is not surprising.

2. A somewhat odd internal "points" system. My buddy owns a high season, valuable fixed week (in Key West, FL), but that fixed week also has an underlying allottment of "internal points" within the Hyatt system. On the (very rare) occasions on which he has inquired into using those points elsewhere instead of using his owned fixed week, he claims that his allotted points "aren't enough" to actually do so. This seems very strange to him (and to me) since he owns at one of the highest demand locations (by far) in the entire USA. So, how can his points possibly NOT be "enough" to get a LOWER demand week somewhere else instead? I don't claim to know that answer.

In any event, overall my buddy seems quite pleased with his Hyatt ownership. He's a fussy and "picky" sort and he claims that there is no such thing as a "even remotely dumpy" Hyatt facility.

Perhaps "scally" will return to provide some (completely absent) useful or informative details to support and explain his apparent (...but entirely unspecified) dissatisfaction with Hyatt.
