Ten Great Dreams Resorts to Book on Points

Heather H.

If you’re anything like me (used to snowy Denver winters), you’re always dreaming of your next beach vacation. And if you’re flush with Hyatt points or have points to transfer, you’re in luck! Dreams Resorts, part of Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection, offer stunning beachfront properties in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America that are perfect for families, couples, and groups. What makes these properties a fantastic redemption is that you can book these with points, meaning your food, drinks, and fun are all included! Here are ten great Dreams Resorts that you can book with points and miles! These resorts can offer excellent value when booked with points, and though we haven’t stayed at these (yet!), they look pretty great.

When booking, you’ll need to know that Hyatt utilizes a special award chart (Categories A-F) for all-inclusive resorts, with redemption rates ranging from 12,000 to 58,000 points per night, depending on the resort category and season (off-peak, standard, or peak). Dreams properties typically are about 25,000 to 40,000 points per night, which includes two guests.

Here’s what you get when you book at these all-inclusive Dreams Properties:

  • Accommodations
  • All meals and drinks (yes, cocktails too!)
  • Resort activities and entertainment
  • No resort fees
  • Taxes included
