Question 1

How many World of Hyatt points do I need for Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya?

Accepted Answer

Andaz Mayakoba Resort Riviera Maya costs 20,000 World of Hyatt points per night at the standard award rate. Off-peak nights drop to 17,000 and peak nights rise to 23,000 — the property is Cat 5. With observed cash rates from $450 to $1,200 and a $750 median, the standard 20,000-point rate prices out to about 3.75¢ per point, more than 2× World of Hyatt's ~1.7¢/pt program median.

Question 2

Is Andaz Mayakoba a good redemption value?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Andaz Mayakoba is widely cited as the program's top points-to-cash ratio at the Cat 5 level. At a 20,000-point standard rate against a $750 median cash rate, the ratio comes in at about 3.75¢/pt — over 2× Hyatt's program median of 1.7¢/pt. Off-peak 17,000-point nights at the same cash rate push the value to 4.41¢/pt, and Christmas-week peaks against $1,200 cash return above 5¢/pt.

Question 3

Can I transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to book Andaz Mayakoba?

Accepted Answer

Yes. World of Hyatt is a 1:1 transfer partner with Chase Ultimate Rewards, so 20,000 UR points become 20,000 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 nearly four standard nights — about $3,000 of resort value at median rates. You can also earn 20,000 points directly through about $6,667 of dining spend at 3× on Sapphire Preferred.

Question 4

Do Globalists get free breakfast at Andaz Mayakoba?

Accepted Answer

Yes. World of Hyatt Globalists receive complimentary breakfast for two — typically delivered in-room with à la carte and continental options, or available at Cocina Milagro — typically priced at $40 per person at the buffet otherwise. The benefit applies on every paid or award stay night and is widely cited as one of the most generous Globalist breakfast experiences in the program. Suite Upgrade Awards confirmed at booking entitle the same breakfast benefit, just in a Suite with Plunge Pool.

Question 5

Are suite upgrades available with Hyatt confirmed suite upgrade awards?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Andaz Mayakoba accepts confirmed-suite-upgrade awards (TSUs), most often confirming a Suite with Plunge Pool from the entry-level Guest Room at the same 20,000-point standard rate. The standalone Villas and the Royal Suite are excluded from TSU eligibility per the property's policy. Globalists with TSUs can confirm the upgrade at booking, subject to availability, with no extra points required.

Question 6

When is the cheapest time to book Andaz Mayakoba on points?

Accepted Answer

The deepest off-peak window runs mid-January through February (post-holidays, pre-spring-break), when 17,000-point nights are routinely available against $500–$650 cash. Mid-August through October offers the lowest cash rates ($450) but carries hurricane risk. Avoid December 15 through January 5 (Christmas / New Year peaks at 23,000 points and $1,000+ cash) and spring-break weeks in March, which book 90+ days ahead.
