Hyatt just announced a major update to the World of Hyatt award chart coming on May 20th, 2026, and this one is bigger than a regular annual category shuffle.

We just stayed at the brand new Park Hyatt Cabo del Sol in Mexico, and I want to share what it was like. Here is the detailed review, how to book this property on points, and how it stacks up against Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal and The Cape, a Thompson Hotel.
From check-in to the rooms, dining, and amenities, this guide will give you all the details you need to plan a stay at Park Hyatt Cabo.
We’ve stayed at 50+ Hyatt hotels over the past few years, from family-friendly Hyatt Regency resorts to bucket-list Park Hyatt stays. After testing the program again and again with real bookings and award stays one thing is clear: World of Hyatt is our favorite hotel loyalty program.
And not just because of points, but because of the hidden perks most travelers don’t even realize they have.
If you’re collecting Hyatt points, chasing Hyatt elite status, or trying to earn free hotel nights, these are the benefits that make the biggest difference.
