Bahia Principe Resorts Join World of Hyatt | News

Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced that World of Hyatt members can now earn and redeem World of Hyatt loyalty points at participating Bahia Principe hotels. The collection included in the program totals approximately 12,000 rooms in more than 20 Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts brand hotels in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Jamaica and Spain.

This milestone marks a step forward in the strategic joint venture between Hyatt and Piñero, which manages and owns the Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts brand properties. With this integration, Bahia Principe becomes the ninth brand in Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection portfolio, expanding the ways in which World of Hyatt members can enjoy all-inclusive vacations in highly sought-after leisure destinations.

Javier Águila, president of Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection, said: “Over the decades, Bahia Principe has built a strong reputation for warm hospitality, destination-rich resorts and experiences that bring people together, whether you travel as a family, as friends or for an adults-only getaway. Welcoming these resorts to World of Hyatt gives our members more ways to experience the joy of all-inclusive travel as we continue to build momentum behind our strategic joint venture with a key partner like Piñero.”

Julio Pérez, CEO of Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts, said: “We are excited to begin this new chapter as we become part of World of Hyatt: a program with more than 63 million members that will give us unprecedented visibility and deeper penetration in key strategic markets.”

“This milestone takes place in parallel with the rebranding of Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts, through which we have reorganized our resorts around two core segments: adults-only and families. This evolution introduces Bahia Principe Escape, designed exclusively for adult guests, and Bahia Principe Explore, created for families and groups looking for shared experiences,” said Pérez.
