Dazzler By Wyndham: 7 Most Popular Hotel Locations [2024 Guide]

Dazzler by Wyndham is a small brand that’s only found in 4 countries in South America, so it might not be that familiar to you. Since it’s part of the Wyndham family of brands, you can earn and use Wyndham Rewards points at Dazzler locations, which is great news if you’re a Wyndham loyalist.

In this post, we’ll go over the amenities offered by Dazzler by Wyndham hotels as well as the 7 most popular locations. Plus, we’ll take a look at cash costs vs. points costs to see if you’re getting a good deal when you book a Dazzler by Wyndham hotel with points.

Dazzler by Wyndham Brand Overview

Located in urban areas across South America, Dazzler by Wyndham hotels are simple and modern. The brand falls under the “lifestyle” category of Wyndham hotels alongside brands like TRYP by Wyndham, Esplendor, and Trademark Collection by Wyndham.

Business and leisure travelers alike will enjoy some of the benefits that come when booking a Dazzler by Wyndham hotel:

• Complimentary breakfast until noon (although many locations list an end time earlier than this)
• A welcome minibar
• 2-hour extended checkout

In addition, many locations include a fitness center and a pool.

Hot Tip: The extra benefits offered at Dazzler by Wyndham hotels like free breakfast, a welcome minibar, and late checkout are only valid when you book directly through the hotel’s website or call center.

Dazzler by Wyndham Locations

There are 13 Dazzler locations across 4 countries — Argentina, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay — in South America.

Wyndham Rewards Overview

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has a large portfolio of over 9,000 locations across 23 different brands (including Dazzler) in over 80 countries around the world.

Through the Wyndham Rewards loyalty program you can earn and use points anytime you stay at a Wyndham hotel or resort.

There are a few Wyndham credit card options and 2 transfer partners (Capital One and Citi) to help you earn Wyndham points. Then you can redeem your points for hotel stays at any Wyndham property or at Caesars Entertainment partner hotels like Caesars, Harrah’s, and Bally’s.

It’s easy to determine if you’re getting a good value from your Wyndham points because every hotel falls into 1 of 3 tiers. Remembering that Wyndham Rewards points are valued at ~0.9 cents each, you can do some easy math to determine when you’re getting a good deal using points.

• If your room costs 7,500 points, you’ll be getting a good value if the cash cost is over $68 per night
• If your room costs 15,000 points, you’ll be getting a good value if the cash cost is over $135 per night
• If your room costs 30,000 points, you’ll be getting a good value if the cash cost is over $270 per night

Go Fast vs. Go Free

Rewards nights through the Wyndham Rewards program are called Go Free awards. The points and cash option (1,500, 3,000, or 6,000 points per night plus a variable cash copay) is called Go Fast awards.

You may notice that, because of the way the website is translated, Go Fast awards can be called Go Quick awards — don’t worry, these are the same points and cash options you’re used to when booking any Wyndham hotel.

Bottom Line: When using points to book a Wyndham hotel (called a Go Free award night), you’ll notice that each hotel falls into 1 of 3 categories costing either 7,500, 15,000, or 30,000 points per night. All Dazzler by Wyndham hotels cost 15,000 points per night.

Dazzler by Wyndham Colonia is located on the banks of the Rio de la Plata, providing spectacular sunset views. Nearby is the Colonia del Sacramento, a historic neighborhood featuring 17th-century architecture.

The hotel is small in size with only 61 rooms, but it offers a bigger list of amenities than is usually found at Dazzler by Wyndham hotels:

The unique wellness center features an indoor pool with hot tub, dry sauna, Scottish shower, and a relaxation area. Spa treatments and massages are available for an extra charge. Guests can also relax at the outdoor pool or the solarium that includes a tranquil green space.

In addition to the complimentary breakfast, the on-site restaurant serves modern international cuisine for lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea on weekends with take-away service available throughout the week.

Rooms cost between $60 to $90 per night or 15,000 points. Because the cash cost is so low, this isn’t a great location to use points at because you won’t get a ton of value (~0.5 cents per point which is just over half of what they are worth).

Hot Tip: Dazzler by Wyndham hotels cost 15,000 Wyndham Rewards points per night. If the cash cost is at least $135, you know you’re getting good value from your points (Wyndham points are valued at about ~0.9 cents each).
