I have not stayed at Hyatt Place for a few years and at that time it was a free continental breakfast. Valuetrips mentions a charge for breakfast, on Hyatt Place site they say free breakfast. Restaurants, grocery, liquor store and bus are within walking distance. When I stay more than 1 night, I stay at Best Western Oceanside for the past 5 years. If staying 5 nights, try Best Western Oceanside, 1180 Sea Breeze, FLL. They are 100 yards from beach, free breakfast, bar that sell food, $ washer/dryer, microwave, small refrigerator, clean, friendly staff, regular bus and Sun Trolley outside the front door and water taxi is in walking distance. No shuttle from airport (about $30 by taxi) or port (about $14 by taxi) or can sign up for shuttle to port. 🇨🇦 Best Western Oceanside works out a lot more expensive than Embassy Suites or Hyatt Place. Stayed at Renaissance Marriott and Hilton Marina on previous occasions but they're also a lot more expensive this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a great hotel in a nice location. I got in earlier than my sister - went to total wine to get a few drinks and stopped a publix for snacks and spent a few hours sitting poolside in the sun. It was a marvelous afternoon.

Are you talking about Hyatt Place? Hyatt Place has a $2 (per room) shuttle charge for airport to hotel and free from hotel to airport and a paid $ shuttle you sign up to port. Best Western Oceanside has no shuttle from airport to hotel or hotel to airport, can sign up for paid $ shuttle to port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Western Oceanside has no shuttle from airport to hotel or hotel to airport, can sign up for paid $ shuttle to port. Hyatt Place yes. And it might have been $2 per room. There were two of us arriving separately so $1pp is inconsequential in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do it all the time. We love Hyatt Place and have been there at least 5 times now for a cruise. Curious how long is the walk from hotel to Publix?

If a reservation is there ask them if they can send anything with a confirmation number 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could call the Hyatt Place and ask. Might make a difference if you are using valuetrips but I have always found the hotel to be accommodating. They have plenty of parking and many guests don't have cars. Maybe mention you are thinking of using valuetrips to book, in case that matters to them.

nhraformula00 Posted May 23, 2022 #64 Share Posted May 23, 2022 The hotel does offer parking for a fee. Our next door neighbor drives down from Chicago and uses the same hotel as we do. Hyatt Place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlodog Posted June 9, 2022 #65 Share Posted June 9, 2022 How long does it take for Valuetrips to process the requests? It says 3 business days, but my card has not been charged and I don't have a confirmation email yet. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took about a week for my email confirmation. I called the hotel directly to make sure it was confirmed. They may be swamped right now. You can always check with the hotel. I did look up my reservation on the website also. Edited June 9, 2022 by PacnGoNow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arlodog Posted June 9, 2022 #69 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Thanks for all the quick replies. I will keep an eye out for the confirmation and give it some time before I call directly to see if we have a room. We don't sail until November. Hotel prices are crazy compared to pre-pandemic!

sandancer Posted June 9, 2022 #70 Share Posted June 9, 2022 We are also booked with ValueTrips. I assume the room rate indicated does not include taxes. Anyone able to give me some idea of what this will be. In the UK the VAT is included in the room rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandancer Posted June 10, 2022 #72 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I understand that breakfast is not included if booked through ValueTrips and costs $11 pp. How is the breakfast? If it is the usual buffet offering, like say the Holiday Inn Express we will probably pass and go to Joe’s Diner in the Harbour shopping center.

They said everyone has bkfst included. So, that was nice. Don’t know if it’s always that way. Breakfast was fine, similar to most hotel breakfasts. Enough for us, as we will eat on the ship by noon anyway. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galelynn Posted June 13, 2022 #75 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Does anyone know when Value trips open up bookings for 2023? We haven't used them in awhile and just wondering when this might happen. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
