Something interesting happened that I wanted to bring up - W Hotels just opened their first-ever all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana! This is pretty big news since W Hotels is known for their luxury boutique properties, and they've never done all-inclusive before. It's part of Marriott Bonvoy's expansion, and they're partnering with some major local players. The coolest part? It's adults-only, which could really change the luxury all-inclusive game in the Caribbean.
I'm really curious about what this means for high-end all-inclusive resorts going forward. Will we see more luxury brands jumping into the all-inclusive space? And for those of us who use Marriott points, I wonder how the redemption rates will work compared to regular W properties. Plus, with W's reputation for modern luxury, I'm interested to see how they balance their signature style with the all-inclusive model.
Would love to hear your experiences with this - has anyone stayed at a W Hotel before, and would you consider an all-inclusive version?
