St. Lucia on Points: Why Secrets at 25K–40K Hyatt Points Is the Best Caribbean All-Inclusive Deal

Sarah ColeMarch 25, 20266 min read

St. Lucia has the Pitons, the rainforest, the volcanic beaches -- and until recently, almost no way to book it on points. That changed when Secrets St. Lucia opened as a Hyatt all-inclusive in 2025, and our database shows it's one of the best points redemptions in the entire Caribbean right now.

Yet nobody has written the booking guide. TPG covered the Secrets opening as a news item. No one compared all the options, ran the CPP math, or told you which program actually wins on this island. We did.

All points prices below come from our Itravy database, verified March 25, 2026. All programs use dynamic pricing -- points and cash rates shift by date and demand. We show the range across our 30-day window so you know exactly what to expect.

Important timing note: Hyatt's new 5-tier award chart launches in May 2026. The Secrets St. Lucia pricing below is based on the current chart. If you want to lock in today's rates, book before May.

1. Secrets St. Lucia Resort & Spa (Hyatt) -- 25,000–40,000 World of Hyatt Points

Points: 25,000–40,000/night | Cash: $669–$1,874/night | CPP: 2.3–5.8 cents | All-Inclusive

This is the headline. An adults-only all-inclusive resort bookable with Hyatt points -- and the CPP ranges from excellent to extraordinary depending on your dates. On off-peak dates (mid-April weekdays), you'll see 25,000 points for a $669 room (2.7 CPP). On peak dates (late March, Easter weekend), the same resort commands $1,673 cash but only 29,000 points -- pushing CPP to 5.8 cents, one of the highest in our entire database.

Because it's all-inclusive, that cash rate covers your room, all meals, unlimited premium drinks, entertainment, and water sports. Zero out-of-pocket beyond the points.

Secrets St. Lucia sits on the island's northwest coast near Rodney Bay, with a beachfront setting, multiple pools, 8 restaurants, and a full spa. As part of the AMR Collection (Hyatt's all-inclusive brand), it participates in World of Hyatt -- meaning Chase Ultimate Rewards transfers at 1:1 for direct Hyatt bookings.

5-night stay (off-peak): 125,000 Hyatt points (25,000/night × 5) = $3,345 in all-inclusive value. Effective per-night cost: 20,000 points. That pushes CPP to 3.3 cents -- extraordinary.

5-night stay (peak): 145,000 points (29,000/night × 5) = $8,365 in value. Effective CPP: 7.2 cents -- insane.

The May 2026 risk: Under Hyatt's new 5-tier chart, peak pricing could jump to 35,000–40,000+ points (we already see 40,000 on a few April dates). Book before May to lock in current pricing.

Transfer path: Chase UR → World of Hyatt at 1:1

2. Zoëtry Marigot Bay St. Lucia (Hyatt) -- 61,000 World of Hyatt Points

Points: 61,000/night | Cash: $460–$658/night | CPP: 0.8–1.1 cents | All-Inclusive

Zoëtry is the boutique luxury tier within Hyatt's all-inclusive portfolio. Marigot Bay is one of the most beautiful natural harbors in the Caribbean -- a narrow inlet surrounded by lush green hills that's been called "the most beautiful bay in the Caribbean" by James Michener. The resort sits right on this bay with an intimate, adults-focused vibe.

At 61,000 Hyatt points per night (fixed across all dates), the CPP varies by cash rate: 1.1 cents on peak days ($658 cash) down to 0.8 cents on quieter dates ($460 cash). Either way, it's significantly less value than Secrets. The experience is more exclusive and intimate, but the points math clearly favors Secrets. Only choose Zoëtry if you specifically want the Marigot Bay location or the smaller, quieter atmosphere.

Transfer path: Chase UR → World of Hyatt at 1:1

3. Royalton Hideaway Saint Lucia (Marriott Autograph Collection) -- 115,000–137,500 Marriott Points

Points: 115,000–137,500/night | Cash: $381–$738/night | CPP: 0.4–0.5 cents | All-Inclusive (Adults Only)

The adults-only Royalton Hideaway is an Autograph Collection property, meaning it's bookable with Marriott Bonvoy points. The resort sits on Smugglers Cove Beach on the island's northwest coast with swim-up suites, butler service, and an overwater restaurant.

At 0.4–0.5 CPP across all dates, this is a classic example of Marriott dynamic pricing working against you. Compare: on a $641 cash night, Secrets costs 25,000 Hyatt points (2.7 CPP) while Royalton costs 137,500 Marriott points (0.5 CPP). Nearly identical cash rates, but you're burning 5.5x more points at Royalton for less value.

The verdict: Pay cash here or skip it entirely for Secrets on Hyatt points.

Transfer path: Chase UR → Marriott at 1:1, or Amex MR → Marriott at 1:1

4. Royalton Saint Lucia (Marriott Autograph Collection) -- 128,500–134,500 Marriott Points

Points: 128,500–134,500/night | Cash: $565–$641/night | CPP: 0.4–0.5 cents | All-Inclusive

The family-friendly sister property to the Hideaway, on the same stretch of coast. Same CPP problem -- 128,500–134,500 Marriott points for a $565–$641 room is 0.4–0.5 cents, well below the threshold where points make sense. The resort is nice (waterpark, kids' club, multiple restaurants), but the math says pay cash.

5. Harbor Club St. Lucia, Curio Collection by Hilton -- 80,000–170,000 Hilton Points

Points: 80,000–170,000/night | Cash: $255–$407/night | CPP: 0.2–0.5 cents

Harbor Club is a Curio Collection property in Rodney Bay -- a modern boutique hotel with a rooftop infinity pool overlooking the marina. It's not all-inclusive and not beachfront (though the beach is a short walk).

The points pricing here is wildly volatile. On good days, you'll see 80,000 points for $386 (0.5 CPP -- still mediocre). On bad days, it jumps to 170,000 points for $379 (0.2 CPP -- a points trap). Either way, you'd be better off paying the $255–$407 cash and saving your Hilton points for a Conrad or Waldorf where CPP exceeds 0.7 cents.

The Clear Winner: It's Not Even Close

Here's the full comparison across our 30-day pricing window:

Harbor ClubHilton80,000–170,000$255–$4070.2–0.5cNo

Secrets St. Lucia is the only redemption worth making on this island. Everything else is either marginal (Zoëtry) or actively bad value (Marriott, Hilton).

Book Before May: The Hyatt Chart Change

Hyatt's new 5-tier award chart arrives in May 2026. Under the current chart, Secrets St. Lucia ranges from 25,000 to 40,000 points depending on dates. Under the new chart, peak-season dates could jump further.

What to do now:

  • Transfer 125,000–145,000 Chase UR to Hyatt (enough for 5 nights on most dates)
  • Book your dates on hyatt.com before the May chart change
  • Target off-peak dates for 25,000 pts/night or book peak dates where cash rates are highest for maximum CPP
  • Even post-May, Secrets will likely remain one of the best all-inclusive redemptions in the Caribbean. But why pay more points when you can lock in less right now?

    Bottom Line

    St. Lucia is a one-program island for points travelers, and that program is Hyatt. Secrets St. Lucia at 25,000–40,000 points per night delivers 2.3–5.8 CPP all-inclusive -- with peak dates reaching CPP values that are nearly unmatched in our database. The Marriott and Hilton options on the island are mathematically inferior by a wide margin.

    If you have Chase Ultimate Rewards points, St. Lucia just became one of the best Caribbean destinations you can book. Transfer to Hyatt and lock in before the May chart change.

    The Pitons are waiting.
