Are modular beachfront suites the future of all-inclusive resorts? Hyatt is about to find out
Over the last few years, Hyatt has been upping its all-inclusive game in many ways. It has introduced new brands like luxury player Impression by Secrets and recently launched the first property from its lifestyle-focused, all-inclusive brand, Hyatt Vivid, in Cancun.
Now it looks like Hyatt is betting on a new innovation in the all-inclusive space: futuristic-looking modular accommodations.
On June 1, Dreams Curacao Resort, Spa & Casino is scheduled to open an adults-only expansion to the family-friendly resort that will include 52 modular buildings right on the water.

Measuring 377 square feet, the freestanding units feel totally fresh, modern and unexpected. They include king-size beds, double vanity bathrooms, an indoor seating area and an oceanfront terrace.
Sitting on the beach of Piscadera Bay, they also give guests a little waterfront privacy; they're still within walking distance of the entire resort yet secluded in the property's new adults-only area.
Additionally, the Instagram-worthy suites are all Preferred Club accommodations. This means that in addition to getting bragging rights for staying in some of the coolest-looking rooms in the Caribbean, guests also get access to the club lounge, upgraded minibar, a pillow menu, more luxe bath amenities, a dedicated beach area and a butler to assist with any need.
These futuristic suites also have access to the adults-only dedicated oceanfront infinity pool, top-shelf drinks at a new bar and exclusive access to a new la carte Mediterranean restaurant.
Guests will also have access to everything else at Dreams Curacao, including the resort's seven other restaurants. They range from a Tex-Mex joint with craft beer to a beachfront seafood restaurant, a classic international buffet and an Italian restaurant.
There's plenty to do on the property, such as indulging in a spa treatment, snorkeling in the Caribbean Sea, hitting the waves on nonmotorized water sports equipment, attending a themed party, joining in on a dance or Spanish class or testing your luck at the casino.
If that's not enough, guests can also access everything on offer at the nearby Zoetry Curacao Resort & Spa and its many restaurants, bars, pools and activities.
Rates at Dreams Curacao Resort, Spa & Casino start at $165 per night, per person or 17,000 World of Hyatt points per night. Rates for the modular suites will start at $609.
