If you already understand how Hyatt free night awards work and how to use them, the fun part is deciding where to use them.

Hyatt recently limited free night awards to hotels in Categories 1–4. At first glance that can feel restrictive, but in practice there are still tons of great options if you know where to look. From family-friendly resorts to easy city bases and international gems, you can stretch these certificates much further than most people realize.

When you’re traveling with kids that often means multiple rooms, more flights to find, and school break pricing. It can feel like points disappear fast.

Somewhere along the way, something shifted. I realized I wasn’t worrying about running out of points anymore. Not because we suddenly had endless balances, but because we built a system that keeps points flowing in consistently.

Some of the best all-inclusive stays can be booked with Hyatt points.

If you’re juggling all the decisions, an all-inclusive trip can feel like a deep breath. And when you pair it with points? That’s when it becomes realistically doable.
