A Better Way to Book

MIAMI (Jan. 8, 2021) - Karisma Hotels & Resorts, the award-winning portfolio of luxury resort properties across Mexico and the Caribbean, has announced the addition of a more flexible way to book travel with its partnership with Affirm, which allows travelers to plan their dream vacation and pay over time without any late or hidden fees.

Guests booking directly on KarismaHotels.com can select Affirm as a payment option at checkout and then check their eligibility to see the available payment options. Eligible guests can split the cost of their booking into simple monthly payments. When paying with Affirm, guests will see pricing upfront and never pay more than they agree to at checkout.

“Now, guests have more financial flexibility to book their dream vacation with Affirm,” said Elizabeth Fettes, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer for Premier Worldwide Marketing, the exclusive sales and marketing provider for Karisma Hotels & Resorts. “Karisma’s priority is providing once-in-a-lifetime experiences of ease and luxury, from the revamped World-Class Gourmet Inclusive® experience to the industry-leading Karisma Peace of Mind wellbeing initiative, and now this collaboration with Affirm.”

Affirm now partners with more than 6,500 merchants in the U.S., recently expanding with partners like Neiman Marcus, Oscar de la Renta, and now Karisma Hotels & Resorts.

“At Affirm, we strive to help consumers confidently say yes to the things that help make life more fulfilling,” said Silvija Martincevic, Chief Commercial Officer at Affirm. “Travel is one of those things, and with 49% of people planning to travel more in 2021 according to a recent Affirm survey, this is more important now than ever. We’re thrilled to partner with Karisma Hotels & Resorts to help more travelers responsibly book best-in-class luxury experiences in a way that works best for their budget.”

Karisma caters to a wide range of travelers with a diverse portfolio of properties, from the family-friendly Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts and Azul Beach Resorts to upscale, adults-only El Dorado Spa Resorts and Palafitos Overwater Bungalows. Having recently opened Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Cancun earlier this year, the luxury hotel collection will also be expanding the popular lifestyle brand’s all-inclusive arm in 2021 with highly anticipated properties in Cap Cana and Riviera Maya. 

All properties welcome guests with the Karisma Peace of Mind™initiative, featuring new health protocols, updated guidelines and industry-leading best practices, including alignment with Delos Well Living’s International WELL Building Institute and Well Living Lab, in conjunction with the Mayo Clinic and with endorsements by Deepak Chopra.
