Hyatt is making a big push in the all-inclusive space, buoyed by its purchase last year of Apple Leisure Group. 

And now the company is beginning to add all-inclusive options to its World of Hyatt loyalty program. 

That will include the addition of the Dreams, Zoetry, Sunscape brands, along with the soon-to-debut Vivid Hotels and Resorts all-inclusive brand. 

The initial launch includes six properties in the Cancun area, all of which are now redeemable with points. 

That includes Secrets Playa Mujerse; Secrets The Vine Cancun; Dreams Natura Resort; Dreams Sapphire Resort; Dreams Playa Mujeres; and the portfolio’s Mexican Caribbean flagship, the Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita Riviera Maya. 

“World of Hyatt links our brands together, and this is a significant milestone to further position us to create more meaningful and rewarding loyalty member experiences,” said Miguel Oliveira, senior vice president, Global AMResorts Direct and E-Commerce. “World of Hyatt is well-positioned to meet the growing demand of more exceptional travel options, and World of Hyatt members will be delighted to learn of the value and convenience our brands provide with luxury inclusions ranging from complimentary spa treatments, locally inspired cuisine, and rich cultural experiences to onsite waterparks, supervised childcare, daily refreshed in-room mini-bars and much more.”

Another 50 resorts in the Americas will join the loyalty program early next month, Hyatt said.
