Hyatt and Marriott have independently launched resort credit programs that effectively transform their premium properties into quasi-all-inclusive experiences, responding to the explosive growth of luxury all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean.
Program Details
Both programs bundle daily resort credits with room rates, covering dining, spa, and activities at participating properties.
- Hyatt's "Inclusive Collection Credit": $200-$400/night credit at 45 resort properties
- Marriott's "Resort Plus": $150-$350/night credit at 60 Luxury and Premium tier resorts
- Credits cover on-property dining, spa treatments, water sports, and excursions
- Rates are 15-25% higher than standard but include value exceeding the premium for most guests
Market Context
The luxury all-inclusive segment has grown 40% since 2022, with brands like Secrets, Sandals, and new entrants capturing travelers who want predictable vacation costs. Traditional luxury hotels are fighting back by offering similar value while maintaining the flexibility guests prefer.
