Ah I see.
Which island(s) are you guys headed to?
Do you guys have a hotel chain preference? Some of the hotels are really nice, but some are mediocre. For instance I wouldn't recommend you wasting those hyatt certs on the Hyatt hotels in Hawaii except for the Andaz in Maui.
we know none of this yet.
cancun could be option too but right now leaning Hawaii.
we don't travel enough to have hotel rewards in any sizable amount but the marriott seems promising

marriott has a 70k online offer that is still active. CS posted the link before as well.
Best to go on your spree relatively soon if you plan to stay at Marriott. The devaluation goes into effect for bookings made after April 8th 2014. A lot of hotels in popular destinations are going up 1 category.
I think the 140k ritz promo has expired, but you can always give it a try as well. The Ritz in Kapalua is about to become a RC5 category hotel as well.

Really? I would think that the Grand Hyatt on Kauai would be a good use.
You could also go for the Citi Hhonors Reserve, and use the two free night certs at the Waldorf Astoria on Maui, the Grand Wailea.

that hotel is nice too but it's relatively cheaper. the redemption value isn't going to be as good.
i stayed there once and didn't really like it though. felt a bit too much like a village, but that's just me.
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, the Andaz is definitely a different feel.

Is PV safe?
I read more all inclusive resorts in PV?
I can't say for sure about the safety, but do free night certs work at all inclusive places?
Well, I checked the Hilton site for their free certs, and it said the following all inclusives aren't eligible:
All Inclusive Properties:
DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Central Pacific -Costa Rica
Hilton Bodrum Turkbuku Resort & Spa
Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme Resort & Spa
Hilton Hurghada Long Beach Resort
Hilton Hurghada Plaza Hotel
Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort
Hilton Nuweiba Coral Resort
Hilton Papagayo Costa Rica Resort & Spa
Hilton Puerto Vallarta
Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa
Hilton Sharks Bay Resort
So if there is an all inclusive that isn't on that list, it sounds good to go.
The Hyatt says the following:
Each Free Night Award is valid for use within one year from issuance for one (1) night in any available standard room at any Hyatt Hotel or Resort worldwide
So that sounds good anywhere.
