Hyatt announced today that all of their resorts in the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and South America will offer at least 2 free COVID tests per room.
The tests will allow Americans to be able to return to the US under new testing requirements that started today.
Hyatt will also offer 50% off rooms and 30% off food and beverage if there are testing related delays. Plus, rooms booked with those discounts will still qualify for all Hyatt promos.
Will this offer make you more likely to stay in a Latin American Hyatt resort?
Wow! Amazing!
This is great news. I need to do a trip to Peru and this is my life saver…Do you know if it also applies to bookings made with points?
Peru has mandatory quarantine
Is PR considered Latin America and will Hyatt be offering testing there?
No testing needed when coming back from PR
Thanks. Partially true. Negative tsting is needed to enter certain states, e.g. MA, to avoid quarantine. Also, some people have need for testing to comply with school or work requirements.
The Hyatt website does not include PR for this program.
I hope they’re spit tests. If so, I won’t really mind the testing and the fact that they would be free and convenient WOULD increase my likelihood of visiting.
If you test positive your fugged. No thanks.
Was just a the Hyatt Ziva Cancun last week. Testing center all setup and ready to roll
Was it free ?
Important to note that there are unpublished minimum stay requirements.
Also, emphasis on RESORTS, many countries and hotels in central america are not included
Andaz mayakoba saying only few for Paid rates
Try contacting Hyatt corporate?
You mean the regular globalist line?
They sent me their page which shows WOH points stays not included
Link?
Actually if you google it their online page doesn’t say anything about points being excluded (https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/mexico/andaz-mayakoba-resort-riviera-maya/cunam/news-events)
But they sent a pdf that says it does. Not sure how i can show you that pdf. I will post on ddf in ” on the road “
I’ll reach out to my Hyatt contact and see what they say.
@Dan, did you ever get clarification on the point stays potentially being excluded? i plan on going on points to the Andaz in a few weeks. Terms on above link state “Antigen test is not included on reservations made with World of Hyatt points.”
Does that specifically exclude antigen and not the PCR? I believe i would need the PCR to get back into the US, no?
The poster contacted me and the hotel honored the free antigen test on his points stay.
The US only requires an antigen test.
