The Wyndham group, with 16 brands and around 7,800 hotels, is one of the largest hotel chains in the world. Their award program is simple, redeem any hotel room with award availability for 15,000 points (Go Free Reward) per night.
Update: Unfortunately Wyndham changed the points structure and all inclusive resorts now require 30,000 points per night for double occupancy.
Luckily, Wyndham has an all-inclusive brand called Viva Wyndham where you are able to redeem points. There are currently 8 hotels in the brand and each has a variety of amenities that they offer. You can review them all in this chart —> All-Inclusive Viva Resorts Chart Jan 2017
These awards are bookable online or by calling a Wyndham representative at 1-866-996-7937.
Update: To find dates that are available for reservations, use the Viva Wyndham website and make a dummy booking for the resort and dates you are looking for. This brings up a calendar that shows available dates in green and non available dates in pink. You can use this information to go back to the Wyndham Rewards website to make an awards reservation.
Wyndham All-Inclusive Resorts
**UPDATE**: All-Inclusives now only cover 2 persons when booking with points. Additional persons will be an extra fee. Children 3-12 yrs will be a certain fee while children 13+ are considered adults and will be charged a higher fee. The website does not reflect this change; however, conversations with agents as well as the comments below have confirmed extra charges imposed for more than 2 people staying in a room.

How to Obtain Wyndham Points
Wyndham offers credit cards through Barclays which offer bonus points after meeting minimum spends. These cards come with an annual fee but they do give you status which comes with its own perks. If you happen to be a Club Wyndham owner, your club points can be transferred to Wyndham points at a 1:.4 rate for a fee.
