Frequently Asked Questions
Everything companies want to know before planning a leadership retreat.
1. What types of retreats do you support?
We specialize exclusively in leadership-level retreats, including:
- Board Meetings
- Executive Offsites
- Leadership Team Retreats
- Strategic Alignment Retreats
- Founder / C-Suite Retreats
- Department Leadership Summits
- Wellness + Leadership Reconnection Retreats

Every retreat integrates our Vision & Alignment Workbook™ and Leadership Toolkit™ to ensure the experience is strategic, structured, and productive.
We do not plan casual vacations or party-oriented group travel. Our focus is leadership teams only.
2. Why do you only work with Hyatt Inclusive Collection resorts?
Consistency & Quality
Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection offers a reliable standard of luxury, service, food, cleanliness, and meeting-readiness — perfect for leadership groups.
Ideal for leadership & board-level retreats
Not all-inclusive resorts are equal; Hyatt properties have:
- quiet, professional environments
- excellent dining
- high-speed Wi-Fi
- boardrooms & breakout rooms
- top-tier service
- safe, secure campuses
Firsthand resort expertise
We have personally visited 40+ Hyatt Inclusive Collection resorts across Mexico and the Caribbean. This allows us to recommend the right resort for your retreat’s tone — not just guess based on photos.
3. What group sizes do you support?
Our specialty is 10–20 leaders. This is the ideal size for:
- board meetings
- executive offsites
- leadership alignment
- strategic sessions
- founder retreats
We can also support groups up to 75 guests for hybrid incentive + leadership retreats. Larger corporate events (100–300+) are available as future add-ons once your company relationship expands.
4. How far in advance should we plan?
We recommend:
- 3–6 months for most leadership retreats
- 6–12 months for peak-season dates
- 12+ months for large incentive or groups
That said — we can often secure excellent options even with shorter timelines due to our Hyatt relationships.
5. What destinations do you serve?
- Mexico
- Dominican Republic
- Aruba
- Jamaica
- Curaçao
- St. Martin
- St. Lucia
6. We’ve never been to an all-inclusive resort — what should we know?
This is extremely common for leadership teams. Here’s what executives love most:
- Predictable budgeting
No surprise meal or drink charges. Everything is already included. - Better use of time
No transportation to restaurants. No logistics planning. More time for strategy and connection. - Excellent food & service
Hyatt’s all-inclusive dining is elevated — not buffet-style vacation food. - Smooth meeting flow
Breaks, meals, and sessions are all walkable. - Relaxed, elegant environment
Perfect for creativity, connection, and clarity. Most leaders say they will never return to a non–all-inclusive retreat after experiencing the efficiency and luxury.
7. How do your leadership tools work?
Every retreat includes two proprietary systems:
Vision & Alignment Workbook™
Used during the retreat to create clarity and alignment across your leadership team. It guides strategic conversations, documents decisions, and creates a 90-day roadmap.
Leadership Toolkit™
Used after the retreat to ensure execution continues with:
- meeting structures
- accountability dashboards
- communication rhythms
- KPI frameworks
- quarterly reset tools
This is what makes your retreat actually stick. No other retreat concierge offers anything like this.
8. How does pricing work?
Planning Fee
Leadership Retreat Planning Fee: Starting at $2,500 (Final pricing provided after discovery call.)
Optional Facilitation
- $1,500 half-day
- $3,500 full day
- $5,000 two-day facilitation
- $500–$1,500 virtual sessions
No added cost for resort planning
We are compensated by Hyatt — meaning your planning fee is minimal and your service level is elevated.
9. What logistics do you handle?
We manage everything related to the resort, including:
- room blocks
- meeting space allocation
- A/V
- group perks
- private dinners
- cocktail events
- agenda planning
- itinerary creation
- proposal building
- liaison with Hyatt Group Sales
Your internal team only needs to approve decisions — we handle the execution.
10. Do you provide onsite support?
Onsite support is optional.
Most leadership retreats (10–20 people) do not need a dedicated onsite planner because Hyatt’s Group Coordinators handle:
- meetings
- dining

However, onsite facilitation is available if your leadership sessions require guided alignment or structured strategy work.
