Since then, their all-inclusive offerings have expanded through an agreement with Sunwing Travel Group’s Blue Diamond Resorts in 2021. Consequently, there are now All-Inclusive by Marriott Bonvoy properties in Antigua, Barbados, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Jamaica, Mexico, and St. Lucia.
