I had planned to visit this property with my sister from March 7th-11th. The cancellation period for my booking ended on February 21st. On February 22nd, El Mencho was killed, and the US government issued warnings for residents traveling to Mexico. I began trying to cancel my reservation the next day. The hotel would not speak directly to me about this, because I booked the stay through my Chase Sapphire Reserve portal. So, I began trying to address the situation through the Chase travel assistant service. Despite the situation after El Mencho, the hotel would not approve a refund. They told the Chase travel assistant, however, that I could change the dates. Around Thursday, February 26th, I proposed January 16th-20th of 2027, and the hotel claimed they were "sold out." I was told to look on the Chase travel portal and find dates shown as "available" there to propose instead. Starting in April of 2026 and going all the way to April of 2027, I could not find a single range of 4 nights on the Chase travel portal that was not "sold out". This is, obviously, wrong, so the Chase travel assistant, again, tried to help me . On March 5th, someone with the hotel's booking team (finally) told the Chase travel assistant on the phone that the change to January 16th-20th was approved, but that they needed to submit the request via email to finalize it. Today the hotel's booking team changed their tune and said, again, the reservation was non-changeable and non-refundable. Both I and the Chase travel assistants spent hours over the past two weeks trying to work with the hotel to find a solution, to no avail. I used $4,000 in credit card points to pay for a trip that I am not going on. I realize this is a first world problem, but I am, frankly, appalled that a hotel group as large as Hyatt would not accommodate a change in dates in light of the recent issues. I will avoid all Hyatt properties in my future travels.
