The Secret Room Categories You Should Be Booking
Posted on 08/30/2024When it comes to premium travel, savvy customers know the brands they’re interested in, the properties that will deliver to their standards, and have a pre-determined baseline for their expectations. In these areas, Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection properties certainly deliver.
But what a lot of them don’t know is the trade secret you do: that these selling points are only the start.
Because while every resort in the Hyatt Inclusive Collection shares certain fan-favorite features – examples include beachfront locations, lavish amenities and goods, and beloved dining concepts – each are also unique. The most obvious ways they’re distinctive from one another are landscaping and gardens, property layouts, building and architectural design, and décor. But what some may not know is that some of these hotels hold even more distinctive differentiators, such as entire secret levels of posh, ultra-luxe room categories specific and unique to that hotel only.
For example, at family-friendly Dreams® Curaçao Resort, Spa & Casino, the Preferred Club Beachfront Bungalows offer ultra-modern, Italian-designed adults-only accommodation right on the sandy shores of Piscadera Bay. These 52 sleek cottages – for lack of a better word! – mirror the sun, sand, and sea on their reflective front façades, as well as the chaise lounges on the terrace. Anyone booking one of these accommodations also receives access to Il Mare, Adults-Only Preferred Club, and full run of Zoëtry Curaçao next door for even more value.
Then there’s Dreams® Sapphire Resort & Spa in Mexico’s Puerto Morelos, another family-friendly resort. However, at this property, the children are welcome to experience the crème de la crème accommodations. The Preferred Club Indigo Two-Story Villa is an unforgettable stay for the entire family, with its own private pool, a kitchenette, dining table for six, living room, and second-floor bedrooms with en suite baths spread across two floors and 1,291 square feet. Making it feel even better than a home away from home is Preferred Club lounge and pool access, plus daily continental breakfast service and 24-room service for when hunger strikes.
On the other side of the country, near Puerto Vallarta, Secrets and Dreams Bahia Mita Surf & Spa Resorts have options for both those who want to decide on their own whether an adults-only or family-oriented resort space best fits their needs. These side-by-side properties are perfect for destination weddings since either is possible, allowing guests to free-flow as the schedule requires and relax in the environment of their choosing … all while staying close to the group.
Both have Preferred Club Presidential Suites, which show off impressive ocean views from living areas that are contemporary with touches such as marble floors, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and rich wood accents. How it earns the top ranking for high-floor resort stays is with an enormous footprint of 2,570 square feet, which includes a home theater, personal bar, walk-in closets, a patio with a solarium and private hot tub, ocean views from the indoor tub, and a private rooftop with an infinity pool. Plus, guests can make the space even bigger by booking the connected double bed Junior Suite.
And like The Preferred Club Indigo Two-Story Villa, booking this room also entitles guests to Preferred Club Lounge access, daily continental breakfast service, on-demand room service around the clock, and all of the usual perks that come with Unlimited-Luxury® stays, the signature of both Secrets and Dreams all-inclusive resort brands.
At another recently built resort, the romantic adults-only Secrets® Tulum has a new “secret:” the Casa Zamna section, which is right at the resort’s beach club. While guests of the main resort have to take a short shuttle to the oceanfront and its many amenities, those staying in this area have immediate and direct access, as well as full rein at the main resort.
The beachfront suites here are gorgeous, with sky-high ceilings and incredible design details, but the peak of indulgence can be found at the Villa Zamna Private Beach House, which provides an unfathomable 6,200 square feet of space for friends, families, and more to spread out across their private beachfront manor. Four king-sized and two queen-sized beds mean flexible sleeping arrangements, but the ultimate freedom comes with having a private chef and butler on premises, a private rooftop with a plunge pool, and beach access. And best of all, the nightly rate is the same, so max out the guest list to make it a party of ten.
The best part about all of these over-the-top options? They’re accessible, with ALG Vacations® benefits such as Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights from nearly two dozen domestic gateways, creating easy packages that don’t have to break the bank.
But don’t forget – there are many other properties within the Hyatt Inclusive Collection that have special categories, and even more “secret menu” accommodations lie hidden in plain sight – just ask your travel advisor about the wide variety of upscale vacations Travel Impressions has always been known for. And with 50 years of experience servicing travel advisors only, there’s no better place to begin a vacationer’s luxury journey than with Travel Impressions.
