I was just wondering if you book with points are there no service charges or resort fees?

Hi Daniel,
This is correct, when you use your World of Hyatt points you will not be charged any service or resort fee charges.

Great, photos and review. I especially appreciated the “regular” room description, since it looks great and I’m wondering how many Hyatt points to splurge for a stay.
Also, your “Send Feedback” option isn’t working. There seems to be no way to check the “I’m not a robot” function.

Hi Steve,
We appreciate the kind words! Thank you for pointing out that the Send Feedback option isn’t working, we will get that looked into.

If you book with points and this resort is all inclusive, do you still need to tip for valet and food service?

Hi Natalie,
Yes, you should still tip for valet and food service.

Great Review. The World of Hyatt app (as of Jan 2023) does not seem to list the all-inclusive amenity under a points booking (rooms or suites) for Alila Big Sur. Is the all inclusive amenity no longer offered for points bookings at this property?
Also what are your thought on Alila Napa? Which of the two property/experience is superior?
Thanks, KB.
