Save up to 50% off IHG’s Iberostar all-inclusive resorts — but you have to book ASAP
All-inclusive resorts are all the rage these days, and if you act fast, you could save up to 50% on your next all-inclusive vacation.
IHG Hotels & Resorts just announced its latest flash sale of up to 50% off stays at participating Iberostar Beachfront Resorts in Aruba, Brazil, Jamaica, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Sunseekers who want to save have just 72 hours to book because this sale ends on Feb. 19. It applies to travel between April 1, 2025, and Oct. 31, 2026. (Yep, you can book next year's vacation right now.)
IHG and Spanish hospitality company Iberostar announced a strategic alliance in 2022, and resorts joined IHG One Rewards in December 2023. Now, that partnership has added dozens of all-inclusive resorts to the rewards program, and new properties are constantly hitting the pipeline.
One property participating in the sale is the brand-new Joia Aruba by Iberostar on Aruba's famed Eagle Beach. Having opened in the last few months, Joia Aruba is a fresh property with 240 rooms and suites, seven restaurants and bars, three different swimming pools (including a rooftop infinity pool) and access to an 18-hole championship golf course.
IHG is touting other properties in the sale, including Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites in Jamaica, Iberostar Selection Playa Mita and Iberostar Wave Quetzal in Mexico, Joia Bavaro in the Dominican Republic, and the Iberostar Waves Bahia in Brazil, among others.
Sale or not, 2025 might be the year of all-inclusive resorts. In the last few years, the know-what-you-pay-upfront style of these resorts has undergone a dramatic shift, with resorts putting greater emphasis on elevated food and drink options, extensive wellness-focused experiences, and more modern rooms and designs. Gone are the days of assuming all-inclusive resorts are stale, unappetizing and, in a lot of people's minds, cheap.
