This upscale property offers a full suite of amenities, including a lively casino, a full-service ZoiA Spa, a three-level pool complex featuring a waterslide and a serene adults-only pool, and lush tropical gardens woven with winding paths and waterfalls. For added convenience and comfort, guests can opt for Club Lounge access, which includes daily breakfast, light snacks, and evening hors d’oeuvres in a private lounge with indoor and outdoor seating.

If you’re looking for a luxury getaway that has everything in one place (one GRAND place), the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar in Nassau is a fantastic choice.

And when it comes to dining, you’ll be spoiled for choice with 45 different restaurants and bars offering everything from casual beach eats to fine dining.

Grand Cayman

 

Kimpton Seafire
Points Needed: 70,000 points per night

 

 

If you’re craving a dreamy Caribbean escape, the Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa in Grand Cayman should be at the top of your list, especially if you’re looking to use IHG points. This chic, beachfront hotel has 266 airy rooms and is just 20 minutes from the airport, making it ridiculously easy to go from runway to relaxation.

As an IHG elite, you can enjoy fun perks like raiding the mini bar, complimentary snacks by the pool, and the playful Kimpton secret password (available during select times of the year). The resort strikes a perfect balance between fun and upscale, with stunning ocean views, modern design, and that signature Kimpton vibe. Grand Cayman itself is equally magical, a week here feels just right to explore the island and still have time to fully unwind by the sea. Read some reviews here and here by us and readers.

 

Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman Resort & Spa (opens April 2026—taking reservations now)

When a beach is as iconic as Seven Mile Beach, it deserves a stay that matches and the Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman Resort & Spa absolutely delivers. Just 10 minutes from the airport, this oceanfront resort is a gorgeous place to use your points for a luxurious island escape.

Set on a stunning coastline, the resort offers sparkling pools, unforgettable sunsets, and easy access to snorkeling, paddleboarding, and exploring nearby George Town. Whether you’re in the mood for adventure or a cocktail by the water, it’s all at your fingertips.

Dominican Republic

Dreams La Romana
Points Needed: 21,000 to 29,000 points per night for standard rooms

 

Plan your tropical escape to the Dominican Republic’s postcard-perfect coast, where lush jungles meet sun-drenched beaches and the hardest decision you’ll make all day is beach lounger or swim-up bar. Dreams La Romana is an all-inclusive playground for families (and adults, if you book the adults-only side), with something for every traveler in your crew. 

We’re talking multiple restaurants, a splash-happy water park, a soothing spa, and even a casino and dive center for when you want to swap flip-flops for fins or chips. Spacious rooms come with daily-stocked minibars and furnished balconies or terraces, and if you’re feeling fancy, you can upgrade to a swim-up suite or one with a separate living area (aka more space for sunscreen and snacks). It’s the kind of place where no one ever says “I’m bored,” and you’ll start Googling “how to move to the DR” by day two. Note that this property changed management from Hilton to Hyatt in June 2025. (The resort was formerly the Hilton La Romana.)

 

Hyatt Ziva and Zilara Cap Cana
Points Needed: 42,000 to 58,000 points per night

 

 

If you’re dreaming of an all-inclusive escape with sunshine, ocean breezes, and zero stress, the Hyatt Ziva and Zilara Cap Cana resorts in Punta Cana are a must-consider, especially if you’re looking to book with World of Hyatt points. 

Set along a stunning stretch of white-sand beach in Cap Cana, the Zilara caters to adults seeking a peaceful, luxe retreat, while Ziva is perfect for families, with endless activities to keep both kids and parents happy. Between the two, you’ll find a wide variety of surprisingly good restaurants (think gourmet buffets, beachside grills, and elegant à la carte dining), multiple sparkling pools, a full waterpark, and a kids club that actually lives up to the hype. 

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a sun-soaked solo trip, the Ziva and Zilara Cap Cana offer a fantastic way to enjoy the Dominican Republic in style on points.
