TORONTO — Sunwing Travel Group has announced the full integration of 20 of its Blue Diamond Resorts properties into Marriott International’s Autograph Collection and Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program.

News that Blue Diamond Resorts had joined forces with Marriott International in a move that would see a long list of Blue Diamond Resorts properties become part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection first surfaced in February 2021.

The 20 participating Blue Diamond Resorts are the first all-inclusive properties to join Marriott’s Autograph Collection brand, a curated collection of independent properties with distinct perspectives on design and hospitality.

The resorts will continue to be independently owned and operated by Blue Diamond Resorts under the Autograph Collection name and deliver on the brand’s promise to create unique and memorable vacation experiences tailored to guests’ unique interests, says Sunwing.

While the Feb. 2021 announcement comprised 19 Blue Diamond Resorts properties, the list now also includes Royalton Grenada for an even 20.

“We are excited to announce the full integration of 20 of our properties into the Autograph Collection,” said Jordi Pelfort, President, Hotels and Resorts of Sunwing Travel Group.

“By aligning our portfolio of world-class resorts with Marriott’s prestigious reputation and award-winning loyalty program, we’ll be able to offer the highest level of all inclusive service and help make even more travellers’ vacation dreams come true,” he added.

The resorts have also joined Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott International’s loyalty program and travel marketplace.
