Get Your Cancellation Fee Waived at Grand Hyatt Resort, Kauai

Hyatt Hotel Corporation is a hospitality conglomerate that owns nearly 1,000 hotels worldwide, including their popular Kauai Luxury Vacation Villas which touts a beautiful beachfront location with amenities like a spa, pool, meeting facilities, golf, and more. However, hidden charges and fees can inflate your hotel stay to a degree you might not have expected and, if you want to cancel your reservation, be prepared to pay a hefty cancellation fee which can be difficult to navigate.

Whether you're hit with a cancellation fee or discover hundreds of dollars of hidden fees on your hotel bill, unexpected expenses are a surprising smack in the face. While you can attempt to negotiate your cancellation fee (and other fees, as well), the process is not always straightforward. There is a much easier, hassle-free way to do it, but if you'd like to get your Grand Hyatt Resort, Kauai cancellation fee waived, here are the steps to try.

Types of Fees Grand Hyatt Kauai Charges

Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic put a damper on vacations from 2020 up to now, but at least half of Americans will be taking a summer vacation this year, experts report. While fun and sun on a Hawaiian beach might be a dream come true for many, that dream can be dashed when hit with hidden fees and charges.

Additionally, when you book your room with Hyatt, you'll be charged a one-night charge as a deposit on your room.

So you've got your hotel room booked and are ready to enjoy your vacation on the beautiful beaches of Kauai, Hawaii. Here are some hidden fees you might see when you go to check out, which can quickly add up to hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars.

Additional fees may apply to different services and/or experiences you participate in while staying at the Grand Hyatt, so it's wise to review all fees and taxes, before making arrangements to use them. Generally, you can ask the front desk personnel about these fees and try to negotiate to get them lowered or waived.

How To Get Your Grand Hyatt Kauai Cancellation Fee Waived

Aside from becoming a Hyatt Globalist member, where, after meeting particular prerequisites, your hotel fee is waived automatically, there are two ways you can try to get the cancellation fee waived on your own:

1. Ask the front desk if they can waive your fee for you.
2. Ask the manager to waive the fee for you.

For leverage, you could try to use the reasoning that many other Hyatt locations are not charging cancellation fees, due to COVID, and this could sway them to waive your fee.

If you're unable to work out a waiver through the present management or front desk clerk, you can attempt to reach out to their U.S. customer service at 1-800-233-1234 with the name of your hotel, dates stayed, and your name and contact information.

How To Ask For Other Fees To Be Waived

The first thing to keep in mind is you should try to be kind, personable, and professional.

Since you never know - unless you read all of the fine print - what fees will be tacked onto what, it's best to ask before participating in any activities or using any services.
