When it comes to hotel loyalty programs, World of Hyatt is in a league of its own. It offers incredible value when using points – especially if you're eyeing a luxurious stay at one of the brand's stunning all-inclusive properties. We're talking about unlimited dining, bottomless drinks, and unforgettable experiences at top-tier resorts in the Caribbean, Mexico, and even the U.S.
But there’s a catch: Many all-inclusives charge per person, which can make a trip with your partner or family significantly more expensive. That’s where Hyatt points shine – book with points and you can skip those occupancy surcharges, making your vacation much more affordable.
Even better? Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer 1:1 to Hyatt, meaning you might already have access to a big pool of Hyatt points and not even know it. If you're looking to add to your stash, Chase is currently offering a limited-time 100,000-point bonus after spending $5,000 in the first three months with the *chase sapphire preferred*. But you’ll need to act fast: This limited-time offer ends Thursday, May 15, at 9 a.m. EST!

Whether you're dreaming of a beach getaway to Mexico or the Dominican Republic or a more remote escape in the U.S., here are five Hyatt all-inclusive resorts where your points can go further than you ever imagined.

1. Alila Ventana Big Sur
At the top of our list is Alila Ventana Big Sur, a bucket-list-worthy property perched on California’s rugged coastline. With cash prices often exceeding $2,000 per night, it's one of Hyatt’s most aspirational (and exclusive) all-inclusive properties.
Your stay includes everything but alcohol – even when booking with points. Despite being all-inclusive, Alila Ventana follows Hyatt’s standard award chart as a Category 8 property, meaning nights cost between 35,000 and 45,000 points per night. But compared to cash rates that can easily run $2,000-plus per night, it's an incredible deal – arguably the best on this entire list.
It’s hard to find award availability, but when you do, it’s easily one of the best redemptions in the Hyatt portfolio.

2. Miraval Resorts in Arizona, Texas & Massachusetts
With locations in Tucson, Austin, and the Berkshires, Miraval Resorts are luxurious, all-inclusive, adults-only wellness retreats. If you're paying cash, expect to pay a few thousand dollars a night, depending on the location.
After Hyatt acquired the brand in 2017, these resorts became bookable with points – but they don’t come cheap. These Miraval Resorts don't fit into Hyatt's regular award chart, so free nights range from 58,000 points to as much as 72,000 points per night (for two people) – making them the most expensive resorts in Hyatt's entire portfolio. This means you'll need a decent stash of points to book a stay at one of these properties.
That said, you're still getting outsized value for your points since a single night at any of these properties could easily cover many travelers monthly rent or mortgage payment.
3. Hyatt Ziva/Zilara Cap Cana
Located in a gated beachfront enclave in Cap Cana, the Hyatt Ziva (family-friendly) and Zilara (adults-only) offer gorgeous accommodations, turquoise Caribbean waters, and first-class service.
Even better? They're among the easiest all-inclusives to book with points. Award rates now run 50,000 points per night for two guests – up from 25,000 points just a few years ago due to recent devaluations.
After staying here in 2021, our CEO and founder Jared raved about the property. Between the incredible service, beautiful facilities, and perfect location, it might just be his favorite all-inclusive resort stay yet.
Your points will land you a 600-square-foot Junior Suite King or Double with high-end finishes and top-tier amenities.

4. Secrets Moxche Playa del Carmen and Impression Moxche by Secrets
Travelers headed to Mexico's Riviera Maya have an overwhelming number of all-inclusive resorts to choose from, but there are two that deserve a spot at the top of your list: the adults-only Secrets Moxché and Secrets Impression Moxché near Playa del Carmen.
Secrets Impression Moxche is located within the broader Secrets Moxché property and is the ultra high-end resort that fetches $1,500+ per night or 50,000 to 58,000 World of Hyatt points.
This Secrets property is located just five minutes north of downtown Playa del Carmen and a little over 30 miles south of the Cancún International Airport (CUN). From the Cancún airport, it’ll take you about 40 minutes to reach this hotel as it's just beyond Riviera Maya.
Our chief flight analyst, Jon, stayed at the Secrets Moxché Playa del Carmen a couple of years ago and says it's one of the most beautiful all-inclusive resorts he's ever been to.
It used to be bookable for as low as 25,000 points to 40,000 points a night. But now, it'll cost you between 35,000 to 55,000 points per night. Still, that beats paying $600 (or more) per night in cash!

5. Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun
For an unforgettable couples’ getaway, look no further than Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun. This adults-only, all-suite resort on the Riviera Maya combines elegance, seclusion, and indulgence.
Nights here range from 25,000 to 35,000 Hyatt points per night, which is a great deal compared to the cash price. You'll regularly find nights here going for $500, and sometimes as high as $1,000 or more. Considering that price also gets you unlimited dining and drinks, it's even a better deal when using points.
Your points will book you into a Junior Suite Tropical View King or Double, which comes with a fully stocked minibar and is equipped with a private patio and full bathroom with a hot tub.
Bottom Line
If you’ve got a stash of Hyatt or Chase points, these all-inclusive resorts offer an incredible opportunity to turn points into paradise. From the redwoods of Big Sur to the beaches of the Dominican Republic, there’s a Hyatt all-inclusive for every kind of traveler.
