Turn a Hosted Resort Evaluation Into 12 Months of Visibility and Future Group Opportunities

We first review the property, destination, guest experience, and potential fit with our traveler and group audiences. If there is a potential match, we discuss evaluation dates, hosted arrangements, and partnership deliverables in advance.

As part of the confirmed partnership, the property receives the agreed resort content, dedicated property feature, promotion, and 12 months of visibility following the hosted evaluation. Public group getaways and other group recommendations are considered separately based on property fit, demand, availability, rates, inclusions, and commercial terms.

Selected properties are asked to provide a hosted three-night evaluation stay for two Hotel Resort Discounts representatives, including accommodations and the property’s standard on-site inclusions. We also request a scheduled property tour and permission to capture original photo and video content during the visit.

For properties within Mexico, Hotel Resort Discounts typically covers roundtrip airfare for both representatives. For destinations outside Mexico, we request roundtrip airfare for two representatives as part of the hosted partnership. Airport transportation is not required. There are no advertising fees or long-term financial commitments associated with the standard partnership.

During the visit, we experience the property from a traveler and future group-planning perspective. We evaluate the accommodations, dining, service, amenities, atmosphere, accessibility, wellness or meeting facilities when applicable, and the overall guest experience.

We also complete the scheduled property tour and capture original photography, video, notes, and firsthand observations for the property’s future content and promotion.

We evaluate the complete experience, including:

• Guest experience and service quality
• Accommodations and room categories
• Dining and beverage options
• Resort amenities and activities
• Location and airport accessibility
• Meeting, wellness, and group facilities when applicable
• Rates, inclusions, availability, and commercial terms
• Suitability for individual travelers and different types of groups

We only recommend properties that we believe are an appropriate fit for the specific traveler or group opportunity.

We capture original photography and video during the hosted evaluation and create a dedicated, search-optimized property feature based on our firsthand experience.

Depending on the property and partnership, the content may also support editorial reviews, destination guides, resort comparisons, social media promotion, group-travel materials, and future marketing campaigns.

Resort partners receive visibility through a dedicated, search-optimized property feature and supporting promotion across Hotel Resort Discounts.

Depending on the property, destination, content produced, and available travel opportunities, additional visibility may include:

• Relevant destination and hotel pages
• Resort reviews and comparisons
• Social media and supporting promotional content
• Direct recommendations to suitable travelers and group organizers
• Public group getaway placement when the property qualifies

The exact promotional mix beyond the dedicated property feature depends on the property, destination, content produced, and available travel opportunities.

At this time, placement on our Join Upcoming Group Trips marketplace is reserved for qualifying all-inclusive resorts. Their bundled accommodations, dining, beverages, amenities, and group inclusions allow us to present travelers with a clearer and more complete package.

Partner hotels that are not all-inclusive still receive a dedicated property feature and 12 months of visibility and may be considered for private groups, corporate retreats, wellness programs, incentive travel, and customized opportunities.

No. Group bookings, public getaway placement, and a specific amount of business are not guaranteed.

Every group has different objectives, budgets, dates, destinations, and operational requirements. We only recommend or develop properties that fit the specific opportunity. Resort partners remain eligible for future consideration whenever their property is an appropriate match for a specific group opportunity.

The 12-month visibility period begins when the agreed property feature is published following the hosted evaluation.

During that period, the property remains eligible for supporting promotion and future group travel consideration. Before the period ends, the partnership may be reviewed for renewal, expansion, updating, or conclusion based on mutual interest and continued fit.

Responsibilities depend on the type of group opportunity.

For Hotel Resort Discounts public group getaways, we may manage participant registration, scheduled traveler payments, required participant information, and automated guest communications through our group-travel workflow. The resort continues to control contracted rates, room inventory, property policies, and on-site operations.

For private, corporate, or employer-funded groups, the resort typically contracts directly with the organization and may manage reservations, waivers, payments, and event operations. Responsibilities are confirmed in advance for each opportunity.

Complete the partnership request form below with your property information. We will review the property, destination, resort type, guest experience, and potential fit with our current traveler and group-travel objectives.

If there is a potential match, we will contact you to discuss the hosted evaluation request, possible dates, requested arrangements, partnership deliverables, and next steps.
