Looking for an all inclusive resort from a name you know? Hyatt has over 150 all inclusive resorts which are mostly in Mexico and the Caribbean.
As new empty nesters who’ve discovered the secret to free luxury travel, Zuzu & I are on a mission to try them all!
fyi, this is a very detailed & COMPLETE list of Hyatt All Inclusive Resorts. Use the Table of Content links to jump to the part you need:
In this guide, you’ll learn everything that you need to know to choose the best Hyatt all inclusive resorts!
9 All Inclusive Resort Brands
Back in 2013, Hyatt launched their first all inclusive resort brands:
- the family friendly Hyatt Ziva Resorts, and
- the adults only Hyatt Zilara Resorts.
As Zuzu & I have seen first hand, Ziva and Zilara resorts are great.
Whereas the all inclusive resort stereotype brings to mind watered-down drinks and low quality food, the Ziva & Zilara cocktails were always top notch and the dining has been great.
Check out our List of Best Drinks at All Inclusive Resorts!
With Hyatt’s acquisition of AMR in 2022, Hyatt went from having 2 all inclusive brands to having a global portfolio of nine luxury all-inclusive resort brands. Hyatt refers to them as the Inclusive Collection.
While not part of the Hyatt Inclusive Collection, there are 3 more Hyatt brands that offer an all inclusive style experience.
Ranking the Hyatt Inclusive Collection Brands
With a few exceptions, we’ve had fantastic experiences at both Hyatt Ziva & Hyatt Zilara Resorts. Due to our personal experience, we rank them ahead of the other Hyatt All Inclusive Resort brands in this list.
fyi, this is a very detailed & COMPLETE list of Hyatt All Inclusive Resorts. Use the Table of Content links to jump to the part you need:
In order of best to worst, here’s our rank of the best Hyatt resort brands.
#1-a: Hyatt Ziva
One of the 2 original Hyatt All Inclusive Resort brands, Hyatt Ziva is known as the family friendly resort. You’ll often find a Ziva and Zilara on adjoining properties like we had in Jamaica.
Best Hyatt Ziva Resort: Hyatt Ziva Cancun
#1-b: Hyatt Zilara
As the original adults only Hyatt all inclusive resort, Hyatt Zilara has set a high bar. We loved our time at the Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall in Jamaica as well as The Zilara Cap Cana in the D.R. Since both were adjoining a Ziva property, we had full access to all the restaurants, bars and pools on both Ziva and Zilara resorts.
Best Hyatt Zilara Resort: Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana
You’ll often find a Ziva and Zilara next door or near each other. The difference is that Hyatt Ziva is family friendly while Hyatt Zilara is adults only, no kids allowed.
Yes, if you booked the adults only Hyatt Ziva, you can also eat at the adjoining Hyatt Ziva restaurants and bars. While Ziva guests are supposed to stay on the family friendly Ziva property, we’ve seen plenty of Hyatt Ziva guests on the adults only Hyatt Zilara side.
#2: Zoëtry Wellness & Spa Resorts
While we’ve not visited one yet, the adult oriented Zoetry Resorts look like they might be the very best Hyatt all inclusive brand. Zoetry Resorts are much smaller then many of the all inclusive resorts in the Caribbean.
Described as luxury for the discerning traveler, Zoetry Resorts look to be about as good as it gets.
- Adult Oriented but not Adult Only
- High End Luxury All Inclusive Resort
- All Food & Drinks Included
- Room Service Included
Best Zoëtry Resort: Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita Riviera Maya
Zuzu & I have our eye on the Zoëtry Paraiso de la Bonita Riviera Maya. It’s an easy trip for us to Cancun from Nashville & this small resort looks amazing. Especially since we’ll be able to stay there for free!
#3: Secrets Resorts & Spas
While not quite as luxurious as Zoetry, I rate Secrets All Inclusive Resorts to be a fairly upscale, adults only all inclusive resort. “Romance for Couples” is a common theme in the marketing for Secrets Resorts.
- Adult Only
- Upscale Luxury All Inclusive Resort
- All Food & Drinks Included
- No reservations required at the restaurants (maybe good or bad)
- Room Service Included
- Best Hyatt All Inclusive for Globalists
- Watch out for hard sell of Unlimited Vacation Club (UVC) at some Secrets
Zuzu & I have been to four Secrets and we’ll likely visit another Secrets Resort later this year. Make sure that you sign up for our newsletter to hear how these free vacations go for us!
Best Secrets Resort: Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun
Secrets Impression
Unveiled in 2022 as an ultra luxury concept, Impression by Secrets aims to be the best adults only all inclusive resort brand. Starting with 2 Secrets Impressions in the Cancun area, AMR plans to roll out more of these resorts.
Zuzu & I visited the Secrets Impression Moxché in 2023. The cash price of our 5 night stay is $7,176 but, as usual, we’re traveling for free on points! We got an incredible 5.7 cents per Hyatt point value on this vacation!
Best Impression by Secrets Resort: Secrets Impressions Moxché
#4: Breathless Resorts & Spas
If you want to have a wild party at an all inclusive resort, this looks like what you want.
Billed as an all inclusive resort with “invigorating entertainment,” Breathless All Inclusive Resorts aim their marketing towards the adult party crowd.
- Adult Only
- Party Atmosphere All Inclusive Resort
- All Food & Drinks Included
- Room Service Included
Best Breathless Resort: Breathless Punta Cana Resort & Spa
#5: Dreams Resorts & Spas
As the best family friendly all inclusives in the new Hyatt brands, this looks like a good blend of fun and relaxation making Dreams our pick for Best Hyatt All Inclusive Resorts for Families. Unlike the other Hyatt All Inclusive brands that have 4-15 locations, there are a whopping 24 Dreams Resorts across Mexico & the Caribbean.
- Family Friendly
- All Inclusive Resort
- All Food & Drinks Included
- Room Service Included
Best Dreams Resort: Dreams Dominicus La Romana
#6: Sunscape Resorts & Spas
Of the 3 family friendly all inclusive brands by Hyatt, Sunscape Resorts looks to have the most fun stuff for kids. In fact, the only photos of the hotel on the Hyatt website are of the kids pool and a kids playground.
There was a time when that would appeal to Zuzu & me. But as recent empty nesters, we’ll pass on this one & stick with the other Hyatt all inclusive resorts on this list.
- Family Friendly… really more like Kid Friendly
- All Inclusive Resort
- All Food & Drinks Included
- Room Service Included
Best Sunscape Resort: Sunscape Curaçao Resort & Spa
#7: Vivid Hotels & Resorts (coming 2024)
As a new adults only brand in the Inclusive collection, Hyatt Vivid will open it’s first resort in early 2024 in Cancun.
The 400 room Hyatt Vivid Grand Island resort will be adjacent to the new Dreams Grand Island on the lagoon side (not on the beach) of the Cancun Hotel Zone. Unlike other Hyatt All Inclusive brands who feature the same restaurants at every property, Hyatt Vivid resorts will feature locally inspired, one-off dining options.
Hyatt Vivid Resorts will also have an emphasis in healthy lifestyle, exercise options and locally inspired itineraries. In terms of price point, Hyatt Vivid will be just below the family friendly Dreams Resorts.
There are no Vivid Resorts listed on the Hyatt website yet.
#8: Alua Hotels & Resorts
The Alula brand has 44 semi all inclusive resorts in Spain & Greece. In 2023, Alua added 2 Hyatt Alua resorts in Obzor, Nessebar, Bulgaria. Most of the Alua Hotels look more like nice hotels than resorts. For now, I’ll keep it at the bottom of my list of Hyatt all inclusive resorts.
If we make it to Spain on our trip to Europe next year, I’ll update the website with a review of an Alua Hotel.
Best Alua Resort: AluaSoul Menorca

It’s literally a 5 minute walk on the beach (or along a path just off the beach) from Secrets Aura Cozumel, past Sunscape, to Dreams Cozumel.

While we’d be happy to return to either/both, there are a ton of other options in the DR and we enjoy trying new resorts. Next time, we’ll definitely be trying some more of the 15 Hyatt All Inclusive Resorts in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

- Overlooking Piscadera Bay

St Martin All Inclusive Resorts
While there are a handful of all inclusive resorts in St Martin, there’s only one that you can book for free with Hyatt points like Zuzu & I did on our 2022 anniversary trip.
We booked it with 25k Hyatt points per night as a Category C (25k points) property.
Secrets St Martin is on the northern tip of Sint Maarten, on the French side, about a 30 minute drive from SXM airport & Philipsburg which are on the south side of the island.
Although the beach was the best white sand beach we’ve experienced, the resort was horribly inconsistent.
Since we met the single most wonderful staff member at any resort (Thimogene made us feel like family every time we saw her), it really pains me to say that I can’t recommend Secrets St Martin.
Here’s the crazy thing. My Hyatt Concierge turned this disappointing vacation into a free $7000 trip for us! Read my Secrets St Martin review to get the whole story!

Still in the building process, Hyatt has announced that the Hyatt Ziva Barbados is expected to open in 2024 in Bridgetown.
Originally planned as Hyatt Centric Barbados, this new All Inclusive resort has been in delays for years. The Hyatt Barbados finally got underway in 2020.
Aruba All Inclusive Resorts
Finally there’s going to be a Hyatt All Inclusive in Aruba! While the Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort & Casino gets good reviews for its spectacular beach, it’s not all inclusive like the new Secrets resort.

- NEW, opening July 2025
Puerto Rico All Inclusive Resorts
While the Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve Puerto Rico is a great oceanfront hotel, there are no Hyatt All Inclusive Resorts in Puerto Rico.

Hyatt All Inclusive Award Chart
If you want to travel to luxury resorts for free, you can do like Zuzu & I do: Use World of Hyatt points to get free stays at these AI resorts.
Hyatt has 6 different categories for All Inclusive Resorts. The points required for each category are in the All Inclusive Award chart.
This award chart is only for the Hyatt all inclusive resorts in the Inclusive Collection. Other Hyatt properties, including the Small Luxury Hotels and MGM Rewards destinations follow a different award chart with Categories 1-8.
In general, a Category A All Inclusive resort costs the same 15k points that a Category 4 Hyatt property costs. However, the most expensive points hotels, costing 40k points, are Category 8.
The most expensive All Inclusive resorts are Category F which will set you back 50k points per night.
We’ve been to only 1 of the Hyatt Category F properties and it was AMAZING! Our review of the Impression Moxche by Secrets details why we think it’s one of the best Hyatt all inclusive resorts!
Cheapest Hyatt All Inclusive
For just 15,000 points, you can stay a night at these Category A Hyatt All Inclusive resorts:
- Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana – Category A
- Dreams Punta Cana Resort & Spa – Category A
- Sunscape Puerto Plata Dominican Republic – Category A
- Sunscape Dorado Pacifico Ixtapa – Category A
- Sunscape Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa – Category A
Cost for More than 2 People
When you see a price for an All Inclusive resort, it’s for double occupancy whether you’re paying in cash or with Hyatt points. If you want to have more than 2 people in an All Inclusive room, Hyatt charges more for triple or quadruple occupancy.
Points Charge for Extra Guest
If you’re paying with points, Hyatt All-Inclusive resorts charge an additional 50% for each person in the room beyond two.
So for a resort that’s 30k points per night, the same room with three people would be 45k points per night. But since having a 4th person would double the number of points to 60k, it’s usually best to book a second room on points.
For the same number of points (60k in this example), you get 2 rooms instead of having 4 people in a single room.
Cash Cost for an Extra Person
However, if you can pay cash, it’s usually a better deal than paying for the extra person with points.
While the extra guest fee is 50% of the standard points rate, Hyatt All Inclusive resorts typically charge less than 50% cash for a 3rd person. This holds true even if you originally pay for the room with points.
There doesn’t seem to be a standard but a 25-30% extra guest fee is pretty common.
It’s also common for the extra guest fee to be lower for children under the age of 13 vs adults.

Ziva Cancun and Zilara Cancun are not adjoining. You would definitely need to take a taxi to transfer between the two.
Thanks for catching that!
For Puerto Vallarta, you failed to mention a number of other properties that are in the area…
The Secrets Vallarta Bay located adjacent/connected to the Dreams hotel (shared restaurants but separate pools); the Dreams Villamagna in Nuevo Vallarta, just north of the airport and the dual property of Secrets and Dreams Bahia Mita Surf & Spa Resort in Punta de Mita on the western shore of Mexico in Nayarit State. While the latter 2 are the furthest away from the airport, the distance is still shorter/closer than resorts in Tulum/Playa del Carmen to Cancun.
What was the problem and timeframe to correct the infinity pool at Secrets St Martin?
Seems like a huge problem
The “infinity” part wasn’t working. The pool was in use but the water was a half foot below the (infinity) edge of the pool. So it was just a pool, not an infinity pool. The infinity spillover area on the outside of the pool was dry and in need of maintenance. btw, I’ll have a full review of the resort pretty soon which will include this.
