Name: Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort
Address: Wailea, Hawaii, US

Question 1

How many World of Hyatt points do I need for Andaz Maui at Wailea?

Accepted Answer

Andaz Maui at Wailea costs 25,000 World of Hyatt points per night at the standard award rate. Off-peak nights drop to 21,000 and peak nights rise to 29,000 — the property is Cat 6. With observed cash rates from $450 to $1,200 and a $750 median, the standard 25,000-point rate prices out to about 3.00¢ per point, well above World of Hyatt's ~1.7¢/pt program median.

Question 2

Is Andaz Maui at Wailea a good redemption value?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Andaz Maui is one of the best-value Cat 6 redemptions in the program. At a 25,000-point standard rate against a $750 median cash rate, the ratio comes in at about 3.00¢/pt — well above Hyatt's 1.7¢/pt program median. Off-peak 21,000-point nights at the same cash rate push the value to 3.57¢/pt. Winter-peak nights routinely cash at $1,000+, so even peak-priced 29,000-point awards return above 3.4¢/pt.

Question 3

Can I transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to book Andaz Maui at Wailea?

Accepted Answer

Yes. World of Hyatt is a 1:1 transfer partner with Chase Ultimate Rewards, so 25,000 UR points become 25,000 Hyatt points and book one standard night. The Chase Sapphire Preferred's current 75,000-point sign-up bonus (after $5,000 spend in 3 months) covers three standard nights. You can also earn 25,000 points directly through about $8,334 of dining spend at 3× on Sapphire Preferred.

Question 4

Do Globalists get free breakfast at Andaz Maui at Wailea?

Accepted Answer

Yes. World of Hyatt Globalists receive complimentary family-style breakfast for two at Ka'ana Kitchen — typically priced around $45 per person otherwise. The breakfast features locally sourced Maui ingredients served family-style on shared platters. The Mokapu Market & Catering grab-and-go and in-room breakfast are not part of the benefit. Suite Upgrade Awards confirmed at booking entitle the same breakfast benefit, just in an Andaz Suite.

Question 5

Are suite upgrades available with Hyatt confirmed suite upgrade awards?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Andaz Maui at Wailea accepts confirmed-suite-upgrade awards (TSUs), most often confirming an Andaz Suite at the same 25,000-point standard rate. The 4 standalone villas — with private plunge pools, Viking outdoor grills, and full kitchens — are excluded from TSU eligibility and book under a separate residential-style category. Globalists with TSUs can confirm a suite at booking, subject to availability, with no extra points required.

Question 6

When is the cheapest time to book Andaz Maui at Wailea on points?

Accepted Answer

The strongest off-peak window runs late September through mid-November, when 21,000-point nights are routinely available against $450 median cash rates — about a 2.14¢/pt redemption. Late April through early June (post-spring-break) is the second-best window. Avoid mid-December through April (mainland winter escape — 29,000-point peaks routinely), spring break weeks in March, and Christmas/New Year — these dates push cash rates past $1,200.
