How to Stay in Punta Cana Hotels on Points
Caribbean all-inclusives on points
Punta Cana is wall-to-wall all-inclusive resorts, and like the Mexican Caribbean it is one of the rare markets where major chains run all-inclusives that book with points. The Hyatt Ziva and Zilara Cap Cana and Hilton all-inclusive brands let an award night cover the room plus meals and drinks, offsetting a high all-inclusive cash rate in full.
The cards and transfer partners to use
Hyatt runs the all-inclusive Ziva and Zilara at Cap Cana, reached only through Chase Ultimate Rewards or Bilt, so a Chase Sapphire Preferred or the Bilt card is the route. Hilton all-inclusives are reached through Amex or Bilt. See which cards transfer to hotels.
Why the Hyatt route stands out
Hyatt all-inclusive awards carry a fixed chart price, so you lock the nightly points cost before booking, unusual for a resort and simple to weigh against cash. Build the balance with the World of Hyatt card, which also grants a yearly free night. Confirm resort space on rooms.aero. See best cities for hotel points.
