This post was originally made on May 11th, 2018. We are reposting and also including some data from our friends from Pointimize (prepared by AwardTravel). I’ve kept the old information below (that starts from ‘all inclusive properties’). Keep in mind a lot of that will be out of date, I’ll make changes as relevant. A couple of notes about the pointimize data:
- 1. Search volume of Wyndham is much less than other hotel chains. Though we’ve excluded properties which have been searched less than 5 times, the prices of small samples could still be biased, more or less.
- We use median value instead of average. So if users mostly make searches of a certain time (ex. weekend rather than weekdays, or summer than winter), the result could well reflect the peak season prices. This is particularly true here for the Caesars properties and Wyndham resorts/vacation properties.
Below are some ideas on what you might want to use your Wyndham Rewards points for. Booking the room which would cost you the most in cash is very rarely the best option, I always choose my hotels last. Pick the destination/activity first and then flights and then hotels, but this should give you some idea of what type of value you can get out of these Wyndham points.

All Inclusive Properties
Wyndham has it’s own all inclusive brand called Viva Resorts, it’s possible to redeem 15,000 points for these properties which entitles you to two adults per room. You can see what’s included for each property with this handy chart.

Readers Suggestions
I’d like to crowd source this list some what, have you stayed at any Wyndham properties in the past that you’d consider exceptional? Have you booked any that you think you’ll get great value of? If so let me know in the comments and I’ll add them here as well as their rating, # hotel in location and also their price range (all based on Tripadvisor information).
