You Can Now Book 22 New All-Inclusive Resorts With Hyatt Points—But You'll Want to Do It Before May
Finding a high-end all-inclusive vacation for a steal usually requires a stroke of luck, but a recent expansion of the World of Hyattportfolio has created a rare "glitch in the matrix" for travelers looking to book for 2026 and 2027.
According to a deep dive by travel points expert Kyle Stewart on Live and Let's Fly , the hotel giant has quietly added 22 new Bahia Principeresorts to its "Inclusive Collection," spanning the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Jamaicaand Spain's Canary Islands.
For anyone who prioritizes a smart splurge, the timing here is everything. Hyattis scheduled for a major award chart overhaul in May 2026, which typically means the points required for these stays will head north.
However, because these 22 properties were just added, there is a narrow window to lock in the current, lower rates before the May shift. As Stewart points out, "If you redeem now at current pricing and a property's category increases in May, your existing booking is honored at today's rate," making this a virtually risk-free way to secure a luxury stay.

The new additions are categorized into two distinct vibes: " Bahia Principe Escape," which is strictly adults-only with a focus on quiet pools and upgraded dining, and " Bahia Principe Explore," designed for families with water parks and organized kids' clubs.
The standout value appears to be in the Dominican Republic and Mexico. For example, the Bahia Principe Explore La Romanain the Dominican Republic is currently bookable for as little as 12,000 points per nightduring off-peak dates. With cash rates for these properties typically hovering around $200 to $250 per night, you are essentially getting a 5-star experience for about the same "price" in points as a standard Hyatt Placein a suburban office park.

In Mexico, the Bahia Principe Explore Akumal—located in that trendy stretch between Playa del Carmenand Tulum—is priced at 20,000 points per nightfor a standard stay. When compared to cash rates that often start at $300 or more, you're clearing the 1.5 cents-per-point mark that experts consider the "gold standard" for Hyatt redemptions.
Beyond the points math, there is an added bonus for those traveling this spring. Hyatt is running a "double points" promotion for stays completed by June 30, which also applies to these new properties. Whether you are eyeing a 12,000-point-per-night stay in La Romanaor a more premium suite in Jamaica's Runaway Bay, the addition of these 22 resorts means your next vacation could include the food, the drinks and the beach chair for significantly less than the sticker price.
