Park Hyatt Zanzibar

The Park Hyatt Zanzibar sits on the premier corner of beachfront property in Stone Town. The main building of the hotel is one of the oldest and has had no architectural changes ( other than a lift added) due to heritage.

As a Diamond Hyatt member I received one of the most memorable suite upgrades here. Its amazing over the years of travel, meeting friendly staff from other parts of the world in a different hotel years later, this seems to become a common occurrence now that TraveLoyalty is running into the 3rd year of the website from one continents upgrades to the next.

The booking.

I chose the points + cash option, as this had the best value.

The upgrade.

Yes I burned a suite certificate (Diamond members get 4x per annum for unique confirmed suite upgrades) and further I contacted management prior using my Ultimate upgrade guide tips and I got a:

What I got back after checkout:

Hyatt pays out  the cash portion on points + cash bookings ( most hotel chains don’t)  at 5 points per dollar spent times 30% as Diamond tier. So more points + more bonuses = more future stays the TL way. I Love this !
