The all-inclusive portfolio swept recognition across resort categories at the travel-advisor-voted awards — validation that matters because Travvy voting is weighted toward the trade.

The News
Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection — the all-inclusive portfolio uniting brands such as Dreams, Secrets, Breathless, Hyatt Ziva, Hyatt Zilara, Hyatt Vivid, Sunscape and Alua — received 10 Travvy Awards wins in 2026, spanningHotel and resort categories. The awards, voted by travel advisors, function as a trade-endorsement barometer for suppliers vying for all-inclusive bookings.
The wins matter on multiple fronts:
Trade sentiment is a leading indicator for all-inclusives. The segment’s booking growth has been among hospitality’s strongest post-pandemic stories, and advisor recommendation remains the largest demand channel in the segment — more powerfully than any other resort category. Winning the advisor vote gages long-term share strength at booking time.
Portfolio breadth over single-property wins. Ten wins across categories signal that Hyatt’s multi-brand all-inclusive line-up is recognized for depth, not a single flagship. The portfolio’s ability to span family (Dreams, Ziva), adult-only luxury (Secrets, Zilara), party-adjacent (Breathless), and value (Sunscape) lets the same favorites dynasty capture multiple traveler segments.
Context — Cancún demand is challenged. Hyatt and competitors have publicly flagged weak recent all-inclusive performance in Cancún, where inventory grew faster than demand and price-led competition cut rate. Winning trade recognition while that market breathes signals advisors still rate the portfolio on product and service quality while negotiating on price — and that portfolio-level wins help the breadth of the demand book (Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Curaçao, Portugal) offset a single soft market.
Loyalty reward mechanics. With Hyatt’s loyalty platform now live across the all-inclusive estate — World of Hyatt points and benefits accepted at participating properties — trade recognition reinforces the pitch to lifestyle-luxury leisure advisors who can now deliver all-inclusive stays inside an ecosystem that also serves their clients’ city stays and global travel patterns.
What it means for hotel and travel businesses
For advisors: Award-winning portfolios typically enjoy the fewest operational-pain complaints, better compliance on wedding/group deposits, and the most reliable in-market services. When putting all-inclusive clients in Cancún or Punta Cana this year, advisor-voted winners give you a quality-assurance benchmark — worth reviewing preferred-partner incentive availability under the same supplier umbrella.
For all-inclusive competitors (Sandals, Karisma, AMR, Marriott All-Inclusive, Hard Rock Hyatt Inclusive adjacent brands): Winning advisor sentiment is contested in 2026; competitors should factor award momentum into 2027 sales-and-marketing planning — advisor-incentive programs, wedding-group fam trips, commission structure clarity — rather than assuming a share-stable status quo in the trade channel.
For owners in the all-inclusive space: An owner-run all-inclusive property in a competitive zone should assess whether affiliation with an award-strong portfolio justifies fees relative to independents. Demand-visibility improvements, wedding/conference sales reach and loyalty traffic are the measurable upside.
For pricing teams: With award recognition landing as Cancún and other markets soften, expect portfolio-level rate integrity to hold even as market rates compress — putting value-forward family deals (kids’ promotions, air credits, second-room discounts) back into centers of advisor-driven demand.
