Greg has written about his recent stay at Alila Ventana Big Sur and on this weekend he talked about how difficult it is to find standard room award availability at this property. He said that it might be worth it to look for a suite before the resort moves up to Category 8 next month. Tim sent us an email to let us know that he found a lot of standard room award availability.
Standard rooms are available the week after Christmas, as one example. December 26-30, 2022, is this.
Do note that 25K is the off-peak price but when you see a search result like the one above you need to scroll up to the fine print that says “Points Calendar” to see how many points it is for each individual night when available:
You would need 115K points for December 26-30. If it were available, the night of December 30th would cost 35,000 points, but it isn't. Once you have the points, you're good to go if you search and see the 1 King Bed.
Tim pointed out that Ventana Big Sur is available for President's Day weekend in 2023. Now is the best time to book a trip to Alila Ventana Big Sur. The peak price of 35K is higher than the peak price of 45K starting on March 22nd, 2022, and the chances of finding a holiday weekend available are very low.
Hyatt Globalists may be able to make a Points Advance Reservation. If you do that, you will need to have the points within a week or two of arrival, otherwise your reservation will be converted to a paid stay. You will need to call the Globalist line or contact your concierge to do this.
The Hyatt properties in the world and the US are some of the best in the world. Booking first and reading later is what I recommend if you want to read more about the area.
