Best Hyatt to buy with changes coming

[Tucsonadventurer]

My sister is looking to buy into either Hyatt or I am thinking Vistanna. They will mainly use it to try different places but live in the Boston area so she is thinking Florida or even Sedona as we own there. I am not sure if Hyatt is likely to do ROFR in Florida right now so am wondering if Sedona is a better deal. The other option is to buy Vistanna mandatory resort. We haven't jumped yet but are considering Vistanna as well. Thought I would check with folks here first before I advise her

Love our Hyatt, Westin combination. I would wait to buy Hyatt until PPP details are officially announced.

Thank you. I would have encouraged Hyatt a yr ago but don't want any regrets.

I just bought 2 Hyatt deeded weeks/units and an EOY Hyatt week/unit to use as our fixed vacation destinations, primarily due to their top tier quality and location (within driving distance). We have very little intention in trading. And I'm waiting to hear whether another week passes Hyatt's ROFR... Hyatt pricing seems very reasonable right now, probably due to the upcoming "points" system.

I see little downside in buying a fixed week at Hyatt, even if ROFR is exercised. Yes, it's a hassle if it happens, but as Kal has pointed out in other discussions, Hyatt's use if ROFR seems to be hit and miss. Owning fixed weeks in prime locations is a no-brainer.

I also like your idea of a mandatory Vistana. The only thing to think about is that ongoing MF's in the Vistana system are typically higher than most Hyatt properties.

Thank you. I would most like for them to get Hyatt as we own 2 weeks and it would be great for family reunions. We are in Pinon Pointe with them next week. Does anyone know if they are introducing the PPP there during owners updates or are they still selling weeks there?

Based on what I have read in the other thread, they are hocking the points program now. Wouldn't you rather help them buy resale though?

Absolutely was just hoping to get clarity but probably will not give us new info

Clarity might very well cast huge questions on the entire program. The hucksters are playing up the Points Program and confusing it with the legacy program. I would start at the price (e.g. $48K) of the Points Program, then if any interest, advance a step to evaluate the benefits. If the price is a deal killer, why waste any time with all the fluff.

Can you share here or PM me regarding the 2 Hyatt deeded weeks that you purchased? Would like to get an idea of what a good value is for this and you are very knowledgeable on their system. thanks, Binspira

We purchased 2 x 2000 point weeks at HWOR (San Antonio, June weeks), one for $7000 and one for $6900. Also an EOY 1400 point week at HWOR (April Week) for $200.

What your MF for the Hyatt in Texas

 

[Tucsonadventurer]

Is there a list of MFs for Hyatt? I know Vistana has a link for that. I'm also curious about fees at Coconut Plantation for 2000 pts. Does anyone have that info?

We pay $1256/year which gets a 2/2L week 23 and $1256/year which gets us a 2/2 week 22. These are both 2000 point weeks.
