As has been written about by others, (One Mile at a Time, Mommy Points) the Andaz Costa Rica (located in Peninsula Papagayo) has dropped from a Category 6 property to a Category 4. Meaning each night requires only 15,000 Hyatt Gold Passport points vs. 25,000. That is a massive reduction and seems to have been a surprise...it was not in the most recent update to the award chart.

Considering that the hotel retails for $400+/night, (2.7 cents/point) this is now a pretty awesome
award redemption. In fact, the current Chase Sapphire Preferred Sign-Up bonus will get you 3 nights (45,000 UR points) at the property.

I have been to the area once before and it is stunning. I've had this hotel on my list but will now be trying to figure out a time to go given the reduction in points required. Liberia is the closest airport and easy to get to from Denver. Frontier offers direct service and there is connecting service on United through Houston and Chicago. Delta and American offer non-stop service from a variety of airports throughout the year.
