COVID-19 puts insurance on the all-inclusive menu

Move over, breakfast buffets, and welcome margaritas — health insurance is now a part of the all-inclusive offerings at Viva Wyndham Resorts vacation resorts in Mexico, Dominican Republic and the Bahamas.

The hotel company on Tuesday announced its new Hotel Assist Insurance program that protects travelers who visit any of the Viva Wyndham Resorts with travel and medical insurance coverage, including services for telemedicine, prescriptions, COVID-19 testing and assistance, extension of stay or relocation, and more.

Covering travelers from check-in to check-out, the insurance is available at no extra charge when booking directly with the company and is a part of the all-inclusive offerings.

“At Viva Wyndham Resorts, we want our guests to fully enjoy their vacation experience, especially in these times, so we are doing everything possible to continue expanding our commitment to the highest safety and health standards across our operations,” Amanda Santana, executive vice president of sales and marketing, Viva Wyndham Resorts, said in a statement.
