I'll get to the point quickly: Finding a resort for a family of five is extremely frustrating.
While it may be a couple more years before we take all the kids on a beach vacation, I can't help but dream. Unfortunately it seems nearly impossible to find a Hyatt resort that will allow 2 adults and 3 kids in a room. After checking the Bonita Springs Resort in FL (struck out), and the Ziva Los Cabos all inclusive (struck out), along with a few others, I called in about Ziva. After trying lots of combinations, the rep told me my best choice would be to book two ocean view suite rooms that connect. This would cost $1,100/night. I'll let you do the math on the points required.
1,200 sq ft rooms and they still won't allow 5 people? That's insane. As I've learned this doesn't seem like it's only a Hyatt problem. Still, to my knowledge Hyatt has the best hotel point redemptions through UR, so I'm hoping to stick with them.
If you're in my shoes dreaming of an awesome tropical family vacation using UR points, what options are there? I'm looking in Florida, Mexico, and Caribbean.
