Key Notes
- Sandals Saint Vincent won Gold for the 2026 Travvy Best All-Inclusive Resort Overall award, ahead of Impression Moxché by Secrets.
- Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection led the all-inclusive chain category, while Sandals led the Caribbean brand category.
- Separate family, wedding and honeymoon categories help travelers distinguish the awards most relevant to their holiday.
Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has won Gold for Best All-Inclusive Resort Overall at the 2026 Travvy Awards, with Impression Moxché by Secrets taking Silver. The travel-advisor vote also put Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection at the top of the all-inclusive hotel-chain category, giving travelers distinct winners to consider at both property and brand level.
The results offer a useful starting point for a Caribbean or Mexican resort shortlist. They also reward different types of holidays: the overall resort category sits alongside separate honours for families, regional brands, weddings and honeymoons.
The Two Overall Resort Winners
The official winners list names these properties in the overall all-inclusive resort category:
- Gold: Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines — the adults-only Caribbean resort set in a private cove on St. Vincent
- Silver: Impression Moxché by Secrets — the adults-only resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, on the Riviera Maya
Sandals Saint Vincent’s resort details describe a setting bordered by forest and a river, with accommodation ranging to two-storey overwater villas. Its inclusions cover meals, drinks, snorkeling equipment, selected water sports, entertainment, taxes, gratuities and round-trip airport transfers. Certified divers can also access the resort’s scuba programme.
That range matters when comparing the headline room price. Some experiences are still optional extras: Sandals lists local excursions separately, and its overwater wedding chapel carries an additional charge. Travelers should check the inclusions attached to their chosen stay rather than assume every activity on the website is covered.
Impression Moxché offers a different version of the adults-only holiday. Hyatt’s property page highlights oversized suites, butler service, rooftop pools and gourmet dining under its Endless Privileges concept. Guests also have access to facilities at neighbouring Secrets Moxché, including additional restaurants and pools.
For travelers arriving by air, Hyatt identifies Cancún as the resort’s airport gateway. Confirm transfer arrangements for the room rate or package booked.
The Winning All-Inclusive Brands
At brand level, the 2026 results separate the overall chain award from regional performance:
- All-inclusive hotel chain: Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection won Gold; Sandals Resorts took Silver
- Caribbean all-inclusive brand: Sandals Resorts won Gold; Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection took Silver
- Mexico all-inclusive brand: Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection won Gold; Lomas Hospitality took Silver
A chain award describes the portfolio’s standing with advisors. It does not make every property interchangeable. The individual hotel, its guest policy, beach setting and room category remain the practical details that determine whether it suits a particular trip.
Family Holidays, Weddings and Honeymoons
The family-brand categories produced different winners. Beaches Resorts took Caribbean Gold, ahead of Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection. In Mexico, Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection won Gold and Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts took Silver.
For weddings and honeymoons, Sandals led the Caribbean category, followed by Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection. In Mexico, Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection ranked first and Lomas Hospitality second. These are brand-category awards; they should be read separately from the two individual resort winners.
How to Use the Awards When Booking
The Travvys are selected by travel advisors. The organisers’ voting announcement explains that TravelPulse and AGENTatHOME’s editorial teams developed the ballot, with advisors making the final choices. As we covered in our ceremony report, the 12th annual gala took place in Fort Lauderdale on November 5.
Use the results to narrow a search, then compare the actual holiday. An adults-only winner will serve a different brief from a family resort, while a wedding award does not specify the cost of a ceremony package. Flight availability, transfers, cancellation terms and the exact room booked can change the value of an otherwise similar stay.
For couples, the overall winners provide two clear properties to investigate. For families, the dedicated family-brand results are the more relevant starting point. In both cases, the most useful question is what the rate includes for the people traveling, on the dates they plan to go.
