Best All-Inclusive Caribbean Resorts for Couples Guide

Adults-only policy.

When researching the best all-inclusive Caribbean resort for couples, keep top priorities in mind. If an adults-only environment is important, seek resorts that classify themselves as “adults-only” or “couples-only” destinations. This will ensure a romantic – and kid-free – getaway tailored to the preferences of couples.

The Caribbean islands each hold their individual charm, unique cultures, and attractions. Consider the location that best fits your needs before seeking out a specific resort. We’ve included many popular Caribbean destinations in this list including Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Dominican Republic, Barbados, Bahamas, Virgin Islands, and Costa Rica.

Only all-inclusive resort packages vary, depending on the resort. Check beforehand whether this includes meals, drinks, entertainment, activities, and spa treatments to determine the best all-inclusive resorts.

By knowing exactly what is covered in the all-inclusive package, you’ll be able to budget and avoid unexpected expenses. Choose a package that aligns with your interests and budget.

Romantic Extras

Many couples’ resorts provide an array of romantic amenities. Whether you’re seeking a couples’ massage, a sunset cruise, or a private dinner on the beach, check beforehand to be sure the resort offers your preferred activities.

Are there private beachfront, private pools for a romantic dip before dinner, or intimate dining options? If looking for a honeymoon escape, look into resorts that offer a free honeymoon package. Check in advance for special packages or services that may add to the romantic elements of the resort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What makes a resort “all-inclusive” for couples in the caribbean.

A listing as “all-inclusive” generally means that the cost of the stay includes a range of services and amenities, whether those include dining, drinks, excursions, or other activities like spa services.

The rate at an all-inclusive couples’ resort will include accommodations, meal packages, beverages, and sometimes excursions. Check beforehand on various packages. Some may include different levels of alcoholic beverage options such as wine or beer with meals, or top-shelf options.

The reasoning behind an all-inclusive resort is to provide a complete package for couples to relax and enjoy the destination without worrying about individual expenses.

How do I choose between different Caribbean islands for a couples’ resort?

First, get clear on your needs and desires for the destination. By considering the type of experience you want, whether a relaxing beachfront experience, adventurous activities, culture, or a bit of everything, you’ll be able to make the best choice.

Since each island has its own vibe and appeal, consider whether you prefer lively and active nightlife, or prefer something more laid back and secluded. Choose an island that fits your activity needs, atmosphere, budget, and cultural appeal.

How far in advance should I book an all-inclusive Caribbean resort for couples?

The amount of time will depend on the island’s peak season, the popularity of the destination, and any holidays or special events. To get the best pricing, book well in advance – usually 6 to 12 months – for peak season.

If you can be flexible and travel during off-peak season, you may only need to book 3 to 6 months in advance. Keep in mind that some resorts offer discounts during off-peak season.

You won't find any bad buffets, watered-down drinks, or cheesy entertainment at these luxe properties.

When couples choose to vacation at an all-inclusive resort , it can become one of the most relaxing and romantic experiences of their lives. Gone are the days of raucous kids clubs, watered-down cocktails, and cheesy entertainment. Many of today’s all-inclusive resorts are kid-free, tranquil, luxurious and offer delightful ways to connect with your partner, all in one easy-to-understand price.

Though many super romantic all-inclusive resorts feature white sand beaches and turquoise waters, there are a wealth of all-inclusive properties in nearly any setting you can imagine. From rugged mountain resorts and chic European hideaways to the classic beachside or over-water sanctuaries, these are the best romantic all-inclusive resorts for you and your love to enjoy, no matter how you define romance.

Club Med Cefalù: Sicily, Italy

Known as the pioneers of the all-inclusive vacation, Club Med has perfected their craft since opening their first resort in 1950. Today, there are Club Med resorts around the world, but the five that belong to their Exclusive Collection offer an unrivaled level of luxury—including premium concierge services, nightly Champagne, and the high-quality cuisine and activities all the properties are known for.

North of Sicily, standing atop rugged cliffs overlooking a stunning bay, Club Med Cefalù is complete Euro glam with elegant, minimalist designed suites, a gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the Tyrrhenian sea and six chic restaurants, bars and lounges. Some excursions require an additional fee, but we think a la dolce vita Vespa ride with your honey is worth every penny.

Impression Moxché by Secrets: Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Nestled along a pristine palm-lined beach, the adults-only Impression Moxché by Secrets is the definition of an ultra-luxury retreat. Guests are treated to dedicated butler service whose goal is to construct the perfect stay for you and your partner.

There’s also the Endless Privileges program that includes gourmet cuisine prepared by master chefs and paired with premium spirits, a welcome bottle of tequila or rum upon arrival, daily sparkling wine and fresh fruit, a complimentary 20-minute spa treatment and no check-in or checkout times. Onsite, take a dip in three man-made cenotes (natural pools) and seven pools, dine at 14 venues, or enjoy water activities such as kayaking, paddle boarding and sailing.

Book Your Stay

Twin Farms: Barnard, Vermont

Twin Farms is an idyllic, east coast mountain escape offering quiet luxury wherever you look. A trip during the winter may feel like you’ve been transported into a romantic Hallmark Christmas movie, with glowing holiday decorations, nightly cocktails and canapes, multi-course farm-to-table dinners paired with fine wines and spirits, and luxurious cottages and suites.

Brand new to the estate are the Treehouses —private, stilted cottages perched 20 feet above the ground. There are tons of activities to choose from, too. Try to stay on your blades as you and your partner ice skate on Copper Pond, or allow resort staff to pack a romantic picnic for a sweet escape during a summer visit.

Curtain Bluff: Antigua

We have to admit, no one does romance quite like the Caribbean. At Curtain Bluff on the picturesque island of Antigua, all 72 of the boutique property’s guest rooms face the brilliant Caribbean Sea, but if you opt for a suite in the Hulford collection you and your partner can also indulge in a plunge pool on your private terrace.

Though not adults-only, there is a kid-free wellness area for a much-deserved break from the little ones with a yoga pavilion offering daily classes, an infinity pool, and an award-winning spa for couples massages set to the sound of lapping waves.

Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda : Dominican Republic

All-inclusive resorts abound in the Dominican Republic, but don’t worry, we aren’t recommending one of the rowdy spring break hotels. Located in the relatively undiscovered region of Miches among lush palm groves, rugged mountains and secluded beaches, the eco-chic Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda offers couples a private oasis to enjoy a romantic, carefree vacation.

Though not an entirely adults-only resort, accommodations include four boutique “villages” with distinct concepts. Couples will love Archipelago, the romantic adults-only cocoon in a private area with spacious, oceanfront rooms and private beach access. Adventurous couples will also appreciate the adrenaline-pumping included activities like trapeze lessons, wingfoil (a combo of windsurfing and kiteboarding) and salsa dance classes.

Alila Ventana Big Sur: Big Sur, California

Tucked among the breathtaking Californian Redwoods, Alila Ventana Big Sur is an adults-only sanctuary meant for couples looking to unplug from the world and reconnect with each other among nature’s majesty. The resort overlooks the jagged Pacific coastline and offers 59 secluded guest rooms and suites, some with fireplaces to kick the cozy factor up a notch, or you can go glamping in a tent cabin to truly be at one with nature.

Rates include gourmet meals with fresh ingredients from the onsite organic garden at the Sur House , two pools, Japanese hot baths and certain activities like forest bathing, guided coast ridge hikes and tai chi classes.

Sandals Dunn’s River: Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Each adults-only Sandals resort dotted across various Caribbean islands is arguably designed with romance in mind, but Sandals Dunn’s River takes it to celestial heights. Here, you’ll find the Coyaba Sky Villa Swim-up Rondoval Suites , which feature private open-air rooftops complete with state-of-the-art telescopes and a dedicated Stargazing Concierge, a spin on the brand’s butler services.

The Stargazing Concierge can arrange bespoke stargazing experiences for couples to enjoy on their private rooftops, from moonlit cocktail hours to wine and cheese nights, and help guests identify constellations and meteor activity in the sky. What more romantic way is there to celebrate an anniversary or milestone in your relationship than to explore what’s written in the skies?

The Resort at Paws Up: Greenough, Montana

37,000 acres of pristine Montana landscape and 10 miles of the Blackfoot River await at The Resort at Paws Up , a luxury working cattle ranch in northwest Montana. What makes this place so romantic is the impeccable level of service; luxurious private homes and estates (there are no traditional guest rooms), most of which offer fireplaces and soaks in outdoor hot tubs under the stars; and intimate dinners at Pomp , the resort’s award-winning restaurant.

Rates include couple-oriented activities like guided hikes, snowshoeing and paint n’ pour art classes, but for a true adults-only experience, book a stay at one of the ultra-modern homes at Paws Up’s sister property, the green o . The resort within a resort offers dedicated activities and meals for parties of two, like hot air balloon rides, fly fishing and trail rides.

Naviva, A Four Seasons Resort, Punta Mita, Mexico

It doesn’t get much more private and secluded than Naviva’s 15 luxury tents nestled within the lush Mexican jungle. Unlike many other all-inclusive resorts, rates at this wellness-centered property include one 90-minute spa treatment per person so that you and your love can truly unwind over nature massages, gemstone facials or spiritual well-being ceremonies.

Your stay also includes unique daily experiences like reiki healing, small-batch Mexican spirits tasting and sunset gratitude circles alongside certain signature experiences like stargazing safaris and sound baths.

Royal Davui Island Resort- Fiji

Have you and your love always dreamed of vacationing on a private island? Well, you can make your dream come true at Royal Davui Island Resort …sort of. The entire island, located in the serene Beqa Lagoon, is the resort, but you’ll have to share it with 16 beautifully designed standalone villas and bungalows. Each bungalow or villa faces the sea, guaranteeing privacy, and all have their own dedicated plunge pools and expansive decks for lounging.

In addition to meals offering the freshest catch of the day, rates include cooking classes, stand up paddle boarding, snorkeling, and Fijian cultural activities like kava ceremonies (a local beverage) and visits to a village church service.

Ayada Maldives: Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll, Maldives

Vacationing in an over-water bungalow is on the bucket list of so many couples, and we can’t imagine a better setting for it than the Maldives. This nation of 1192 islands surrounded by jewel-toned, crystal clear waters is a certifiable paradise, and though it’s probably difficult to make a wrong choice when selecting your accommodations, Ayada Maldives offers two amazing all-inclusive packages to choose from that stand out from the crowd.

The diamond package was crafted with romance in mind and it includes a beachside barbecue dinner with a fire show, sunset wine and cheese pairings, 60-minute massages, and a choice of two excursions like a sunset cruise or glass bottom boat tour.

Club Med Val d'Isère: Val-d'Isère, France

All-inclusive ski resorts are such a time and money saver (paying for entry fees, lift tickets, rentals and lessons can add up quickly, after all), and if you’re looking for a cozy yet sophisticated ski holiday, look no further than Club Med Val d’Isère . Like other resorts in the Club Med Exclusive Collection, guests receive dedicated concierges and evening Champagne service, but it’s all set among one of the most famous winter sports settings in the French Alps (the 1992 Winter Olympics were held here!).

Easily zip along the mountain with your partner thanks to unlimited ski-in/ski-out access, then warm up in the indoor swimming pool, Club Med Spa by Cinq Mondes, or over elevated French cuisine at the specialty restaurant Les Millésimes. Don’t forget to take a romantic stroll in the oh-so-charming historic village of Val d’Isère.

Best All-Inclusive Resorts For Romantic Getaways

With sexy plunge pools, stellar dining options and top-notch service, these all-inclusive resorts are perfect for romantic getaways..

The best all-inclusive resorts for couples are the stuff of vacation dreams: You're in an idyllic location far from your regular life routine sipping on your favorite cocktail in a warm climate begging you to take a dip in the vast infinity pool or in the nearby beach. The luxurious room, the plethora of delectable restaurants and all the amenities of the resort are at your disposal for one all-inclusive fee.

Combine all that with spending time with the only person you'd want to spend a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars with, and life doesn't look like it can get any better. Here, we've curated a list of the world's best romantic all-inclusive resorts based on romantic must-haves, from party-all-night entertainment to sexy plunge pools and outdoor showers. All you have to do: Pick one.

The Brando - French Polynesia

In 1999, director and Oscar-winning actor Marlon Brando started developing this sustainable luxury resort and environmental-research center he dubbed the Brando . Here, 35 thatched-roof villas seamlessly merge indoor space and natural surroundings, including the ombre-turquoise water. Deck tubs, private plunge pools and big windows look out to the lagoon where you'll snorkel , kayak, paddleboard or canoe in an authentic Polynesian outrigger.

When you're not on the water, you'll be hiking with a naturalist, watching baby turtles hatch, taking dance lessons or indulging in your daily included spa treatment in the couples room, which sits high in the treetops like a veritable love nest, making this an ideal location for anniversary getaways.

Hermitage Bay - Antigua

The remarkable, above-and-beyond service at Hermitage Bay starts right when you land, thanks to a personal airport attendant who whisks you and your loved one past long immigration lines. Upon arrival at your hillside cottage, trade speedy efficiency for the art of slow living. Start in your private infinity pool – complete with a sweeping Caribbean view – then rinse of together in the outdoor shower before dinner.

The resort's capacity is only 60 guests, which means unmatched attention (when you want it, that is) and plenty of secluded spots to snuggle. Think champagne breakfasts in bed (made with fruits and veggies from the onsite organic garden) and tailor-made cocktails delivered mere moments after you place a flag in the sand.

Hyatt Ziva Cancún - Mexico

Thanks to the Hyatt Ziva Cancún's setting on Punta Cancún, mainland Mexico's most easterly point, you'll greet sunrises before anyone else. The location sets this Caribbean all-inclusive apart: Uncrowded sand on three sides gives you more beach for your buck. Or hit one of the three infinity pools, cleverly designed to form separate leisure zones.

Dining is a highlight, from chaya and cactus scrambled eggs at Tradewinds to ceviche and Baya-style fish tacos at sand-between-the-toes beach bar Habaneros. There are even roving food carts serving street food-inspired snacks, like churros with thick chocolate sauce.

Agave aficionados flock to Juana Margarita to sample 25-plus tequilas and mezcals (don't miss the addictive cream tequila), while beer fans gather at Tres Cervesas sports bar, which boasts a legitimate microbrewery. Splurge on a Ziva Sky Swim-up Master Room: Each has its own elevated horizon pool and hot tub, making this one of the best all-inclusive couples vacations.

Moon Palace Jamaica - Jamaica

Forged forced fun: Palace Resort's 700-room Ocho Rios outpost (the first outside of Mexico), Moon Palace Jamaica , has seen reggae legend Shaggy and Cheerleader artist OMI at the resort's Grand Ballroom Loud Bar (Shakira, Usher and REO Speedwagon (to name a few) rocked the stage at one of the sister resorts in Cancún, so major music cred flows through the brand's veins).

Plus, the $1,500 resort credit – when you stay five nights or more – covers two comped tickets to events. The amped-up property also offers a killer watersports program that includes stationary-surfing experiences and dolphin-habitat adventures.

Hard Rock Punta Cana - Dominican Republic

Consider hatching an advance plan to make the most of the 23 bars and clubs at the Hard Rock Punta Cana , like ORO, the high-energy nightclub where DJs spin house and electronic music, packing the dance floor at 11 p.m. every night. The space also hosts entertainers like Joss Stone and Enrique Iglesias, but, when even bigger names perform – think Rihanna, Calvin Harris and David Guetta – the show often moves to the golf course.

Tamarijn Aruba - Aruba

Entertainment at Tamarijn Aruba includes a steel-drum band and live performances by Aruba's premier musicians, like jazz guitarist Ivan Jansen and soca band 2 Sweet. The Pirates Treasure Quest Show flaunts eye-popping acrobatics and dance, while the Grand Carnival party is such a crowd-pleaser that it's been on the roster for 20 years. Ready to press your luck? Hit up the roulette and blackjack tables at adjacent Alhambra Casino.

Grand Velas Riviera Maya - Mexico

Talk about a foodie paradise: At Grand Velas Riviera Maya , you and your honey will discover new flavors and shared tastes. Of the eight onsite restaurants, there are a couple must-gos.

Try Cocina de Autor and its whimsical traditional French menu, as the chef leads you down a multicourse path. And colorful Frida offers gourmet Mexican cuisine for every palate, from conventional (crispy lemon-chili fish with chicharrones) to fearless (filet mignon covered in black pepper and ant eggs or tamales stuffed with mussels, black beans and huitlacoche).

Grand Oasis Sens - Mexico

Among the dozen restaurants at Grand Oasis Sens , an adults-only paradise in Cancún, is the Black Hole, where a 27-course dinner is served in an intentionally dark restaurant. White-gloved wait staff serve you and your sweetie a seafood-driven experience (much of it locally caught) in a sexy, sensory-oriented space: Since you can't see, your other senses – including taste and touch – are heightened.

Barceló Bávaro Beach - Dominican Republic

Long buffet lines are a thing of the past at Barceló Bávaro Beach , an east-coast enclave in the D.R. where even check-in comes with a spread of bite-sized dishes like fresh ceviche. Eleven onsite restaurants, ranging from French (complete with a wine cellar) to Mexican (hand-pressed tortillas are on deck), front four miles of pristine white sand. An array of Dominican classics are laid out for lunch so you can nosh on local favorites without even leaving the resort.

Sandals Royal Plantation - Jamaica

An exclusive partnership with the Guild of Professional English Butlers ensures that every butler at Sandals' only all-butler resort, Sandals Royal Plantation , which offers 74 ocean-view suites scattered across 10 cliffside acres, are trained to exacting standards. They not only attend to every need during your stay – whether they're drawing a candlelit bath or arranging a romantic beach picnic – they also provide you with a cellphone to reach them at literally any hour.

Known for anticipatory, above-and-beyond service, one butler actually waded through water, fully clothed, to deliver a frosty mojito to a guest bobbing on an ocean float, making this one of the best spots for anniversary vacations.

Paradisus Palma Real Punta Cana - Dominican Republic

Bodycon dress steamed? Check. Side-by-side pedi appointments at YHI Spa? Handled. Bath drawn, rose petals strewn on the bed and pink champagne on ice? Done.

Guests in the adults-only Royal Service rooms at Paradisus Palma Real Punta Cana are paired with a personal butler reachable via a handy cellphone you'll receive at check-in. The butlers here have an uncanny knack for knowing exactly where their guests are and what they might need at any time, whether it's another piña colada or two tucked-away pool chairs.

Cayo Espanto - Belize

It'll feel like your devoted butler reads your mind, bringing you an icy Cuba Libre at sunset, teaching a sailing lesson on a moment's notice and, then, as your Hobie Cat returns, greeting you on the beach with towels and just-cut coconuts.

Request that your butler make up a private beach cabana with sheer white curtains for a sunset that'll feel orchestrated just for you two. Or take it in on the Casa Estrella's private overwater deck. The style of service you'll receive at Cayo Espanto is the result of the private island's three-page survey that you'll complete at check-in, asking if you prefer privacy with attention on request or all-out, full-time pampering.

Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya - Mexico

This music-themed mega-resort wants you to get turnt. The Sound of Your Stay service at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya delivers Fender guitars and DJ equipment to your room for impromptu jam sessions. Keep the party going in the separate, adults-only resort-within-a-resort called Heaven, which sports four pools, six bars and five restaurants. Keep the beat alive in the Music Lab, where couples can join a band, remix songs, film a video or walk the red carpet.

Want a true rock-royalty experience? Book the jewel-toned, 9,225-square-foot Bret Michaels-designed rock-star suite, complete with a fitness center, a photo booth, a screening room, a DJ booth, a dance floor and a billiards table made out of a Camaro.

Moon Palace Cancún - Mexico

"All-inclusive" doesn't equal total gluttony. In the 19 swim-up wellness suites at Moon Palace Cancún , order gluten-free meals from 24/7 room service, and rise peacefully with dawn-simulating alarm clocks, aromatherapy diffusers and hydrotherapy salts for the in-room whirlpool baths.

You don't need to schlep to the gym when there's the Awe Sports Kit (mat, dumbbells and jump rope) right in your room. But, if you feel like donning your Lululemons, two gyms offer classes, like spinning and CrossFit.

Casa Velas Puerto Vallarta - Mexico

Don't cram your carry-on with designer duds. At Casa Velas Puerto Vallarta , an adults-only boutique hotel, you'll find 13 designer handbags for complimentary rental. Choose from designers like Carolina Herrera and Michael Kors, and add extra sparkle to your romantic getaway with the resort's diamond jewelry (yours to wear for a fraction of the retail price).

Gents, you're not left out of the fun: Guys with style can rent a Montblanc "murse" from the handbag bar.

Jumby Bay Island - Antigua

Picture nothing between you and the sky while you soap up under an open-air garden shower, standard in every one of the 40 rooms and suites at Jumby Bay , a 300-acre private island two miles from Antigua.

Lush palms, ferns and tropical cordyline surround each stone-tiled shower, situated within a walled courtyard for ultimate privacy. For lengthy lathering sessions using top-of-the-line products by James Heeley, hop in the outdoor pedestal tub for two, a bonus in many suites.

Yasawa Island Resort & Spa - Fiji

After an afternoon spent lazing by the infinity pool or in the twin hammocks under your private beach hut at Yasawa Island Resort & Spa , head back to your thatched-roof, oceanfront "bure" (cottage), and strip down for a shower under the sky, surrounded by vibrant bougainvillea and fragrant frangipani, before heading to dinner by the infinity pool.

Suds each other up with sustainably made Pure Fiji amenities, which soothe sunburns with coconut oil and local flora like gardenia, passion flower and lemongrass.

Zoëtry Agua Punta Cana - Dominican Republic

The completely private, outdoor patio showers in four room categories at Zoëtry Agua Punta Cana are replete with tropical flora, and they're constructed of eco-friendly, locally sourced, natural stone, hardwoods and cane-thatched cathedral ceilings. Enhance the sensory experience with Bvlgari amenities and a selection of scented lines and aromatherapy-oil burners.

Marquis Los Cabos - Mexico

What more could you ask from an all-inclusive resort with five award-winning restaurants, a 15,000-square-foot holistic spa and guaranteed ocean views? How about master suites with plunge pools overlooking the Sea of Cortez? Upgrade to a casita at the Marquis Los Cabos for a private garden pool that's perfect for skinny-dipping or a rooftop pool with a terrace for sunbathing in the buff.

Sanctuary Cap Cana - Dominican Republic

At this adults-only spot in Punta Cana (just 15 minutes from the bustling airport), take your pick from either a royalty villa or a honeymoon suite that flaunts a super-private, coral-stone, freshwater plunge pool. All of the 2,600-square-foot honeymoon suites at Sanctuary Cap Cana come standard with a dark-wood deck and plush chaise lounges positioned around an oversized, jetted plunge pool with water that flows into an unobstructed sea vista.

Or book a spacious, two-bedroom castle island suite, where there's no need to even step outside to take a dip: Each boasts three (yes, three) large, indoor plunge pools, all set alongside floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook manicured private lawns and the sparkling Caribbean Sea, making this one of the best all-inclusive honeymoon resorts.

Excellence Playa Mujeres - Mexico

The spacious double-level suites at this adults-only resort feature private rooftop terraces with waterfall plunge pools, which are heated during the winter months so you can splash around any time of year while ogling the beach below. The airy terraces at Excellence Playa Mujeres are also outfitted with lounge beds for cozying up and open-air showers that'll spur more romantic moments, making this one of the best adults-only all-inclusive resorts.

BodyHoliday - St. Lucia

Of course there's the standard included watersports – windsurfing, kayaking, snorkeling – but, at this 155-room property, set on a private bay and ensconced in tropical gardens, it's the anything-but-standard activities that wow. Enjoy archery, fencing, pilates and tai chi, plus a 50-minute spa treatment each and every single day, if you'd like. A sailing program at BodyHoliday offers half-day courses for mastering the basics of handling high-speed yachts.

Travaasa Hana - Hawaii

This eco-chic resort goes beyond lei-making and ukulele lessons to provide a true Mauian experience. Fill your itineraries with classes on throw-net fishing, fire-starting and spear-throwing. Wind down at Travaasa Hana with coconut-husking or a cacao-plantation tour and tasting; then, bring back some chocolate to feed each other in your bungalow later.

Enjoy the island's natural surroundings with stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing or a glider ride, and use your daily spa credit to try a native healing massage or an organic facial. Or do nothing but take in views of the rugged, unspoiled coastline from your private lanai.

Grand Palladium Bávaro Suites Resort & Spa - Dominican Republic

Bringing your brood on a romantic getaway doesn't mean you have to sacrifice five-star luxury, especially not at Grand Palladium Bávaro Suites Resort & Spa . At this 673-room Punta Cana flagship, the kiddos can go nuts at the kids club (the largest in the Caribbean), featuring a mini water park, a pirate ship-shaped trampoline, cooking classes with local ingredients, zip-lining, crafting and sports to suit ages 1 to 17.

For some grown-up time, escape to the spa, where Turkish baths and Vichy shower treatments ooze, "Ah..."

Crystal Cove - Barbados

Only 35 minutes from the airport, this 88-room boutique hotel features an undiscovered treasure: the Cave Bar – a hole-in-the-[rock]-wall hidden at the end of a series of lagoons, terraces and a waterfall. Belly up to the bar on submerged stools with unobstructed ocean views, or retreat farther in the cave to stay dry and shaded from the intense sun.

What to order: the Crystalgia, the resort's signature drink, made from Mount Gay White Rum, pineapple juice, blue curaçao and falernum. Take Crystal Cove's rum-shop initiation class to learn to lime (island slang for liquor-fueled casual hangouts) like a local.

Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos - Mexico

Sip a Humpback Whale at Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos – pineapple juice, orange juice, vodka and blue curaçao – while watching them breach in the Sea of Cortez January through March. It's the signature cocktail at the Whale Watchers Bar, a glass-enclosed space perched on a cliff overlooking the Baja Peninsula.

El Dorado Royale - Mexico

The gourmet-inclusive experience at the adults-only El Dorado Royale makes it the top choice for oenophiles, especially those who love lavish multicourse meals. The resort has partnered with Santa Rosa's (California) award-winning Jackson Family Wines to host a monthly series of pairings and tastings that showcase chefs and wine masters the world over, making for one of the best romantic vacations.

The Best All-Inclusive Resorts in the Caribbean for Couples

Pine Cay, Turks and Caicos

A Relais & Chateaux property on a private island, this is a place where the only thing in sight is white sand, blue skies and even bluer water. As a high-end hotel that is also all-inclusive, this property checks a lot of boxes for most travelers. They call their all-inclusive rates "island-inclusive rates," which include all meals, snorkeling trips, water sports, activities, free Wi-Fi throughout the property and plenty of extras.

Impression Isla Mujeres by Secrets, Mexico

A travel advisor for the uber wealthy recently told one of our editors that this is the Caribbean property where she sends her high net worth clients for several reasons: the food is incredible, the property is architectural and sumptuous, and the views are astounding. Isla Mujeres feels a world away from the family-friendly crowds that visit Cancun and the party-hard tourists who stay in Tulum. This island is only accessible by boat and it's quieter with some of the bluest water known to the Caribbean.

Sugar Bay, Barbados

Sugar Bay Barbados is the perfect hideout located right by the South Coast Boardwalk and the Historic Garrison. Those who are looking for both city life and relaxation will find what they want here.

All in all, a great deal awaits at Royalton CHIC Punta Cana, one of the best affordable all-inclusive resorts.

The resort accommodations are modern and the true embodiment of chicness while providing the luxury of 24-hour room service. The only downside is that the options are limited when it comes to full ocean-view rooms.

Located in a prime location overlooking glistening Kissamos Bay on the Greek island of Crete, the sensational Giannoulis – Cavo Spada resort is a fabulous place to relax while admiring magnificent natural beauty.

Sonesta Maho Beach Resort & Casino, St. Maarten

Starts at $120 per person per night

While Sonesta Maho Beach Resort and Casino is among the top affordable all-inclusive resorts for couples, it doesn’t fall short when it comes to the many experiences it offers.

If you can afford to splurge a bit, book the luxury ocean suite that comes with a terracotta sun terrace and freshwater plunge pool.

The property lies adjacent to the unspoiled white sands of Enterprise Beach, but the dining experience is another highlight at romantic Cafe Luna, its award-winning rooftop restaurant. Guests also enjoy complimentary offerings like golf green fees at Barbados Golf Club, shuttle service to other beaches along the south coast, and even a luxury catamaran cruise (with lunch and snorkeling for two included).

Couples who book a stay of at least 10 nights will also get an additional complimentary bottle of champagne and a 30-minute Swedish massage .

3 Tips To Get The Best Deal On All-Inclusive Resorts

The resorts we mentioned above are already easy on the wallet but it never hurts to save more. These tips will help you make an affordable all-inclusive resort stay even more budget-friendly.

Timing is the key

As any wanderlust would know, the shoulder seasons mean discounted rates while the low season means paying the cheapest prices of the year. You can snag the best deals if you time your getaway outside of the peak travel season.

Research packages well

All-inclusive packages aren’t all created equal. To get the best bang for your buck, carefully review the inclusions of each package you’re considering. Be sure to check for other possible discounts you might be eligible for too. For example, Sandals offers an additional 10% off for firefighters, military, and the police.

Remember: Flexibility pays off

Many affordable, all-inclusive resorts (as well as the pricier options) offer flash deals. Keep a close eye out for those to potentially score the best room at a substantially lower price.

Travelers to Jamaica can look forward to warm, humid weather, great beaches, rum punch, and a laid-back attitude. Indeed, it’s a great destination for families and singles alike, even if they’re not sharing a resort.

At an all-inclusive resort, guests can enjoy unlimited food, beverages, and most on-site activities all for 1 price. Some amenities, such as excursions, spa services, and top-shelf alcohol, may not be included in the all-inclusive rate. Travelers enjoy the convenience of paying once for most things, or over time with a payment plan, and can relax on vacation without keeping track of the tab.

All-inclusive resorts are especially enticing for couples and friends who want to get away for a while. And an adults-only option almost ensures relaxation in a peaceful environment.

Jamaica is in the Caribbean, only about 600 miles from Miami .

The island has 3 international airports :

• Ian Fleming International Airport in Ocho Rios (OCJ)
• Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston (KIN)
• Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay (MBJ)

There are direct flights to MBJ from several U.S. cities, including Atlanta, Miami, New York, and Orlando. Direct flights operated by American, JetBlue, Spirit, and more can also be found at the other 2 international airports.

Most all-inclusive resorts offer round-trip airport transfers, which is convenient because even the closest airport to your resort may be an hour-long drive.

The hotels on this list are in 6 areas around Jamaica, some more familiar than others.

Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, and Negril are likely the most recognizable Jamaican destinations. Ocho Rios is considered a better place to stay if you’re looking for adventure and hoping to explore the island . The famous Dunn’s River Falls that you can climb is in Ocho Rios.

Montego Bay is quieter than Ocho Rios and seemingly better for families who aren’t too adventurous or those who otherwise don’t plan to venture out much from their resort.

Negril is home to one of the best beaches in all of Jamaica: Seven Mile Beach. The beach features white sand and clear blue water with plenty of space to lounge or take advantage of the water activities.

Oyster Bay is between Ocho Rios and Montego Bay . The best airport to fly into is MBJ, and the area is best known for its 2-mile stretch of pristine beaches.

Rose Hall, an area within Montego Bay , is home to Rose Hall Great House , which has a haunting past, but that’s not the main reason to stay in the area; the surrounding hotels and resorts are. The plantation home has been renovated and now serves as a museum.

Lastly, there’s Whitehouse, located southeast of Negril . Whitehouse is about a 1-hour drive from MBJ, and there isn’t much to do in the area compared to Ocho Rios and Montego Bay. Expect long transfer times to excursions or plan to relax at your all-inclusive resort for most of your stay.

How active you plan to be on your Jamaican vacation will dictate where you should consider staying. To get the best of both worlds — relaxation and adventure — consider a resort in Montego Bay or Ocho Rios.

The 17 best all-inclusive resorts in the US for a spectacular vacation

You might think that the best all-inclusive resorts are found dotting the beaches of Mexico and the islands of the Caribbean . While there are certainly plenty of incredible options in the sunny tropics, there are also plenty of great all-inclusive resorts in the U.S.

Believe it or not, from the Florida Keys all the way to the California coast, there are incredible all-inclusive resorts and hotels where all (or most) of your food, drinks and activities are included in the price and you won't get sticker shock from the final bill. And they're different from what you'd expect, including dude ranches serving elevated Western fare and wellness-focused retreats in the desert.

How to choose the best all-inclusive resort in the US for your travel style

Booking an all-inclusive resort in the U.S. is slightly different from booking the more traditional ones in tropical destinations. So while researching, make sure to read the fine print about what exactly is included in your rate because many of the properties listed below might include all of your meals but not alcohol (or just wine with dinner, for example). You'll also want to consider what extra activities are included in the price and what activities (like horseback riding or fly-fishing) cost extra so you have a clear idea of how much you'll actually experience for your dream vacation.

One other difference to note is that some all-inclusive resorts in the U.S. (especially dude ranches and wellness retreats) have minimum stays or select check-in days (like Monday or Thursday), so consider being flexible with your travel dates.

Ahead, find our top choices for all-inclusive resorts located within the U.S.

If you're craving an escape that feels totally tropical without having to actually leave the country, it's probably time to head down to the Florida Keys for a stay at Little Palm Island Resort & Spa, where an all-inclusive-like vacation awaits.

Found on Little Torch Key, about 30 miles from Key West, the adults-only resort really feels like paradise and features beautiful bungalows with thatched roofs, ocean views and plenty of space to stretch out and relax. For couples looking for something extra special, the Island Romance Suites come with outdoor cooper tubs and showers, a beach area with a fire pit and a private deck to enjoy.

At the resort, activities include kayaking, fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling, meeting dolphins at the research center, or letting it all go and just posting up at the spa for a treatment (or two!).

Meals are served at The Dining Room, an airy restaurant with ocean views and cute bar called the Monkey Hut.

Though not a true all-inclusive resort that you'd most likely find in Mexico or the Dominican Republic, the resort's "Culinary Paradise Package" will sure make it feel like it. The package, which requires a two-night minimum stay, includes daily breakfast, daily three-course lunch, nightly four-course dinner, a welcome bottle of bubbly and a $100 spa credit, per person, per night.

Rates at Little Palm Island Resort & Spa start at $2,590 per night, based on double occupancy. The Culinary Paradise Package starts at $3,610.

Just an hour's drive from Phoenix, Castle Hot Springs is a luxury desert oasis in a lush, almost tropical setting with sky-high palm trees and over 1,000 acres of land to explore and relax. The resort, which dates back to the 1800s, has a series of natural hot springs that start at 86 degrees Fahrenheit and top out around 106.

For meals, the resort's property-grown ingredients are the star of the show, with breakfast, lunch and a multicourse tasting menu in the evening. Though alcoholic drinks aren't included in the rate, a daily $25 beverage credit is offered per guest per night.

Besides soaking in the natural hot springs (which are reserved exclusively for those staying at the resort), guests can find Zen through meditation, take a farm tour to see where the food is grown, experience nature through a guided hike, or pay extra for spa treatments and adrenaline-inducing activities like an elevated adventure course and utility task vehicle tours .

Rates at Castle Hot Springs start at $1,400 per night, based on double occupancy. Two- and three-night minimums are required for most dates and the resort is closed for most of July and August.

An adults-only resort hugging the coast of Big Sur, California, which is arguably one of the most scenic areas in the U.S., this resort has long been a favorite of readers and staffers of TPG, even before it was converted into an all-inclusive property in 2020 .

At this property, one of three Alilas in California, guests are invited to relax in one of 59 rustic-chic rooms and suites that are as comfortable as they are luxurious; all of them include a walk-in shower, soaking tub, stocked minibar, great views and either a balcony or private deck. To take it up a notch, reserve a room with a fireplace to snuggle up next to or a hot tub for an even more intimate place to relax.

A working farm, a luxury resort and an internationally acclaimed dining destination, Blackberry Farm, a gem of a resort set on 4,200 acres near the majestic Smoky Mountains, is a truly special place to get away. The resort's signature "Foothills Cuisine" will change everything you thought you knew about American food. Starting with dinner on the day of arrival through to the very last lunch before checkout, expect meticulously prepared meals crafted with seasonal ingredients foraged from the on-site 4-acre garden and other locally sourced ingredients.

With 69 different accommodations, there's room for everyone, from three-to-five-bedroom houses with space to spread out to 1,080-square-foot Hill Cottages with typical Tennessee front porch rocking chairs, private golf carts and warm fireplaces. On the smaller side, the farm's Historic Rooms are intimate, cozy and decorated with antiques that are classy and classic at the same time.

Come for the food but stay for the seemingly countless activities like hiking, yoga, horseback riding and fly fishing, among many, many others (though many of them have an additional cost outside of the inclusive offerings). There are also top-tier concerts populating the farm's entertainment calendar, alongside a spa, wellness treatments and special programs designed to entertain and educate children .

Nightly rates at Blackberry Farm start at $1,045 and require a three-night minimum stay.

With three wellness-focused resorts across Arizona, Texas and Massachusetts, any of Hyatt's Miraval locations is worth considering for a visit, and though it's no easy contest among them, we'd have to argue that Miraval Berkshires is truly one of the best all-inclusive resorts in the U.S.

A "digital device-free resort," guests check their phones at the door and instead of checking emails and Instagram likes, they're invited to check in on themselves through wellness and wellbeing programs that are designed to enhance their lives and their health. That includes deep dives on nutrition, fitness activities like a barre class in the pool, connecting with nature through hiking and limbering up as you practice your lotus pose during yoga.

Other activities, at an additional cost, include learning the art of pottery, mastering the bow and arrow in archery and getting up close and personal with horses in specially designed therapeutic sessions with gentle equines.

Inclusive rates at Miraval Berkshires include breakfast, lunch and dinner at the health-focused restaurant Harvest Moon, or ordered directly to the room. Though the entire experience is top-notch, a further elevated experience (for an additional fee) can be had at 1894, offering four-course, prix fixe menus served as part of an interactive experience.

And as for where you'll rest your very relaxed head, choose from a range of options like a room in the Gilded Age Wyndhurst Mansion , a 600-square-foot suite with a balcony, or a room in a historic cottage, all of which are stocked with Tibetan singing bowls and meditation cushions.

Rates at Miraval Berkshires start at $1,058 or between 57,500 and 72,000 points per night, both based on double occupancy. Note that every award booking includes a $175 resort credit per person.

Imagine taking a water taxi from the hustle and bustle of a busy downtown to a charming spa and wellness resort set on 19 acres of lakefront property. If your intention is to leave it all behind for a few days of blissful relaxation, you've come to the right spot: Lake Austin Spa Resort.

Located just 30 minutes from downtown Austin (and also accessible by car), this spa resort is an intimate experience, with just 40 bright and airy rooms with private porches, soaking tubs, 12-foot ceilings and a few cottages with hot tubs .

The all-inclusive pricing includes three meals per day, including via room service, along with snacks as well as unlimited fresh smoothies and juices. It also offers guests access to 24-hour fitness facilities, unlimited use of lake equipment like stand-up paddleboards and kayaks, a lakeside beach with swings and hammocks and two outdoor pools, plus a heated indoor lap pool and 20 daily activities including hiking, belly dancing and more.

Considering this is a spa resort, you might be happy to hear the spa itself is a whopping 25,000 square feet and guests have access to its steam rooms, saunas, whirlpools, gardens and relaxation areas. They can also book a range of treatments , from signature facials like the "The Regal by Valmont" ($1,050), which uses Essence of Gold caviar, to custom deep-tissue massages (starting at $225). The only question: Which one will you choose?

You don't have to be a cowboy to appreciate a luxury ranch — or to simply bask in the wonder of Montana's natural beauty. The Ranch at Rock Creek gives visitors the best of it all — a truly luxe experience, incredible activities and even the chance to ski — with inclusive pricing that means (mostly) everything is taken care of before you even take off on the trip.

With 29 accommodations on offer, there are options as vast as the Montana sky, from hybrid luxury glamping tents to historic converted barns to multiroom homes with space for the entire family.

Ranch-style food is the name of the game here, with a handful of dining options offered across breakfast and lunch, though the star of the show is the rotating seasonal dinner schedule that'll have guests do-si-doing under the stars at a barn dance and enjoying a barbecue with a side of a summer rodeo. And for an even more upscale experience, make sure to visit during the weekly chef's tasting menu experience on Fridays.

Outside of dining, guests can plan every activity through a dedicated "Ranch Ambassador," who might suggest seasonal activities like snowboarding, skiing or tubing, or other memorable experiences like horseback riding, archery and fly fishing. And when all that makes you feel a little tuckered out, hit up the spa for a rejuvenating treatment so you're refreshed, revived and ready to do it all again the next day.

Rates at The Ranch at Rock Creek start at $2,300 per night, based on double occupancy.

Tucked away in rural Vermont, Twin Farms is the antithesis of the stereotypical all-inclusive beach resort. Here, instead of hundreds of cookie-cutter rooms, travelers have a choice of 20 perfectly curated and individually designed cottages and suites with the flavor of a boutique hotel and the coziness of a lived-in cabin.

More like a traditional all-inclusive experience, though, all meals plus alcoholic beverages (including spirits) are offered in the restaurant or served directly in your cottage or suite. For a very special lunchtime treat, request a picnic-style lunch that can be set up anywhere on Twin Farms' 300-acre grounds.

Despite its seemingly slow and leisurely pace, there's no shortage of things to do at this luxe retreat. In the winter, take advantage of sledding, snowshoeing or visiting the farm's private mountain for skiing. When it's warm, canoeing, fly fishing, kayaking, tennis and swimming in a picturesque pond are all on offer. Or, if relaxing is the only thing on the agenda, the Bridge House Spa therapists will come directly to you for an in-room ritual or invite you into a treatment room for a facial or massage (for an extra fee).

Rates at Twin Farms start at $2,800, based on double occupancy.

The magic number at Little St. Simons Island, off the coast of Georgia, is 32, because that is the maximum number of guests that can stay at the resort at any one time. Intimate and almost like stepping out of the modern world and into a gentle wilderness, the island offers 11,000 acres of unspoiled beauty to explore, with 7 miles of beaches.

To get to the island property, which dates back to 1979 and is located between Savannah, Georgia, and St. Augustine, Florida, guests must catch a ferry from Hampton River Marina on St. Simons Island, which is accessible by car.

On the island, there are six cottages with one to four bedrooms that can be booked by the room, by the cottage or, if you want to take over the whole place, the entire island is available to book (starting at $8,000 per night). The cabins are rustic but well appointed with cedar furniture, gathering areas — like screened-in porches or living rooms with fireplaces — and postcard-perfect views of the island's many live oak trees. The various arrangements make mixing and matching room or cottage types based on your group's needs a breeze.

All meals are included in the nightly rate and feature shared plates made with ingredients grown on the island and procured from the area, like locally dredged oysters, served in The Lodge. Hors d'oeuvres and snacks are also available throughout the day. As for activities, there are fishing experiences with all equipment provided, 26 miles of hiking trails, kayaking through the marsh, a saltwater swimming pool, open-air truck safaris and loaner bikes you can take out to the beach.

Restaurants and bars include a beachfront Mexican-style seafood grill, a fine dining experience for an extra fee, a classy cocktail bar and even a sunset tiki-themed bar where tropical drinks are a must-order.

Also included are daily group yoga classes, live entertainment karaoke nights and watersports like standup paddleboarding and kayaking.

Located along the Hudson River in upstate New York, Rocking Horse Ranch Resort is fun for the whole family anytime of the year.

The Oklahoma Building, right next door, has the same room types plus a suite option with a queen bed and bunk beds with a partial wall for more privacy, two full bathrooms, two TVs and two minifridges.

For the young and young at heart, Fair Hills Resort is an oasis of fun in Minnesota that's open from May-September and harks back to the glory days of a typical American vacation: one with goofy games, waterslides, campfires and cabins. Speaking of cabins, this isn't a Four Seasons and the resort is quick to let you know that its one-to-four-bedroom cabins are basic and have no air conditioning, but that just adds to the camp vibe the entire place gives off.

Three meals daily are included with stays and, fittingly, announced by the clang of a bell echoing throughout the resort. Breakfast is a buffet while lunch is lighter, with a salad bar and twice-weekly picnics. Dinner is a rotating three-course menu that can include dishes such as steak, prime rib or Minnesota walleye fish. And for picky eaters, off-menu cold items are also available.

The activities are wide-ranging, too. In fact, the 94-year-old resort has a detailed calendar showing exactly what the family can expect. Treasure hunts, Zumba classes, capture the flag, river tubing, scavenger hunts and talent shows are all on offer. But don't fret parents, adult activities like poker night are scheduled, too. Sports include tennis and an 18-hole golf course and lake activities are also available if the calendar gets a little too overwhelming.

All-inclusive rates at Fair Hills Resort start at $250 per night for adults, $141 per night for kids ages 6 to 12 and are free most dates for kids ages 4 and 5. It's always free for kids under 3. A detailed calendar of rates, including specials if booking for seven nights, is available online .

There are few truly all-inclusive properties in the U.S. that participate in major hotel loyalty programs. Thankfully, though, Rawah Ranch is one of them. This luxe guest ranch in Colorado's Laramie River Valley can be booked directly with Hyatt since it's a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

Guests stay in a variety of rustic cabins that are cozy, homey and decorated with Western touches like vintage oil lamps, antlers galore and sturdy wood and iron furniture. With a variety of configurations, you can bunk down in a 350-square-foot stand-alone cabin with a king bed, lofted twin and front porch, or opt for adjoining ranch houses that extended families can share but still have some privacy.

During the day, go horseback riding without worrying about packing cowboy boots, as the resort provides them for kids and adults, and build a connection with the horse you're assigned since you'll be riding the same one throughout your stay. You can also spend time at the river fly fishing (a half-day session is included in the rate) or paddleboarding, learning how to shoot clay traps and arrows, or simply get lost in the beauty of it all on a hike.

Each day, guests are treated to three meals of "Colorado Ranch Cuisine," starting with a la carte breakfast, a hearty lunch buffet and a cocktail hour followed by a family-style dinner all crafted by chef Jennifer Sanchez.

A seasonal resort open only from June through September, Rawah Ranch charges $1,700 per night, based on double occupancy, and requires a three-night minimum. World of Hyatt members can book this Category 8 property for between 35,000 and 45,000 points.

At RiverView Ranch, an all-inclusive luxury private ranch in Montana, there are only eight lodge suites to book, making for an intimate experience. Each of the suites has a private deck with a fire pit and views of the ranch's private lake, cozy slippers and robes to relax in, and receives twice-daily housekeeping. Rooms range from a stately king-size suite with a deep soaking tub down to a room with double bunk beds that can sleep up to six.

All on-property experiences are available for no extra charge with the all-inclusive rate — even the more extravagant options like snowmobiling in the winter, jet skiing in the warm months and taking a hoverboard for a glide. But since it's a ranch resort, make time for some horseback riding, going for a trail ride and fishing.

Meals are a magical affair, rotating between the Great Room in the main lodge and barbecues at the lake house and out on the deck. The meals consist of "ranch-to-table" menus that feature Angus prime steak and ribs, fresh fish caught on the lake and even bison with sides of hearty vegetables cultivated on the ranch. And for wine, consult with the house sommelier for the perfect pairings.

Rates at RiverView Ranch start at $13,500 for a minimum three-night stay, based on double occupancy.

Nearly the opposite of a typical all-inclusive resort experience that's heavy on booze and big on entertainment, a stay at Canyon Ranch Tucson is all about finding, reviving and cultivating yourself through wellness practices and lifestyle changes.

Guests are invited to choose between different "pathways," or programs, that guide their experience. These pathways can be simple and laid-back, or extremely regimented, with focuses on weight management, learning and breaking habits and even options that include medical scanning followed by guidance from clinical practitioners to shape the experience.

Scheduled activities include yoga and Pilates, meditation, Aqua Zumba, cardio training, cooking classes and photography hikes. Meals are served at the Canyon Ranch Grill and feature healthy dishes "free of additives and unhealthy extras," like sunflower seed tacos, turmeric cauliflower steak and grass-fed short rib. Grab-and-go options are also available from a cafe.

At the end of a busy day centering yourself, crash into a room or suite with Mascioni Italian linens and a personally selected pillow from a menu with over 20 options.

Outside the room, enjoy three outdoor pools plus an indoor one, a spa, multiple fitness centers and 150 acres of outdoor space to explore.

One package even includes a guided trip to Zion National Park with a packed lunch.

Would-be adventurers stay in cozy rooms with king or double beds, a large writing desk and a deep bathtub to soak in after a long day of hiking. For more space, book a villa with a fireplace, balcony or deck. Pets are even welcome in select rooms.

Healthy meals, like sesame-crusted ahi tuna and pepita-crusted rack of lamb, are served at the Canyon Breeze restaurant where indoor tables are set up around a double-sided fireplace or out on the patio.

A spa offers treatments inspired by nature , like the Adobe Lavender Hydrating Cocoon, a mud wrap with red clay sourced nearby.

Adventure package rates at Red Mountain Resort start at $600 per night, based on double occupancy.

Ghost towns are supposed to be creepy, right? Not in Dolores, Colorado, where the mining town dating back to the 1800s has been converted into a luxury resort full of life. Individual hand-hewn log cabins, some built by the original miners (the resort claims), plus a luxury tent, are full of Western character and design — as well as ensuite bathrooms and high-speed Wi-Fi.

The hot springs, which range from 85 to 106 degrees Fahrenheit, can be enjoyed in a restored bathhouse, in a number of pools, with water bubbling up directly from the source and in the Well House cabin accommodation. At the spa, aestheticians offer facials while massage therapists can work out knots with a deep-tissue rub.

Seasonal activities include horseback riding, mountain biking and fly fishing in the summer and snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and horse-drawn carriage rides in the winter.

An all-inclusive experience, meals plus alcoholic beverages (except premium drinks) are served at a long table in the old-school saloon. Chefs cook in an open kitchen using ingredients grown on the property to create dishes like roasted Bountiful Ridge pork with charred leek grits and preserved green apricots, for which the suggested pairing is a glass of 2018 Cos Frappato wine from Sicily.

Rates at Dunton Hot Springs start at $1,165 per night, based on double occupancy.

Top Affordable All-Inclusive Resorts

All-inclusive resorts promise a simplified vacation: One upfront fee covers food, drinks and select activities, so you can relax with a cocktail in hand instead of worrying about your spending. However, not every all-inclusive accommodation option offers the same budget-conscious bang for your buck; some end up costing much more than you may be hoping to pay thanks to extra fees for amenities like kids clubs or meals at specialty restaurants.

These U.S. News picks for affordable resorts are properties where two guests can stay in one room for around $250 per night or less. These prices may not be available year-round: You may need to settle for off-peak travel periods or reserve well in advance for peak seasons (usually December to April for warm destinations). Round-trip flights are not factored into these prices, but some resorts may offer packages that include air travel.

Whether you're dreaming of a family-friendly beach trip or an adults-only escape, these reasonably priced all-inclusive resorts across the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America ensure a memorable travel experience that won't break the bank.

Activities include hits like water polo and beach volleyball, as well as some more unique options like a coffee class and palm weaving.

The property offers four main restaurants and seven bars, including poolside options. Given Costa Rica's prominence as an ecotourism destination, you may also want to visit the pristine rainforests or tropical islands in the area (however, such excursions aren't included in the hotel rates). Previous guests love the proximity to nature and the option to go on wildlife tours, though some travelers feel the resort caters more to locals.

Note: The property will be renovating its 408 guest rooms in different stages between 2023 and 2027.

Frequently Asked Questions

There's no one agency or website that offers the best deals for every all-inclusive resort. Instead, a solid approach is to use a website like Kayak or Expedia to search for resorts that have cheaper pricing available at the time you want to travel. Then, once you have the names of a few affordable options, you can shop around different agencies or websites to see which one offers the cheapest deal.

If you're on the hunt for an all-inclusive deal, it's important to think about your timing – both in terms of when you're booking and when you want to travel. Better deals tend to involve traveling when there's less demand. According to Laura Sangster, founder of luxury travel agency Caribbean Journey , there's typically less demand for all-inclusive properties in the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America during September and October, which are typically part of hurricane season .

"This is when hotels, including all-inclusive resorts, experience the lowest occupancy and thus offer the best deals in an effort to fill rooms. Historically, these have been very active hurricane months. Hurricane season runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, so rates within this period are always less than December to May."

While Sangster notes that it's possible to find last-minute resort deals for travel during these more popular months, she doesn't recommend holding out for such bargains.

"While you might benefit from a decreased hotel rate, airfares currently price the other way and will only be more expensive closer to travel," she says. "It's also important to plan ahead to ensure you are able to secure the room category you want."

Sangster advises travelers to book well in advance to get better prices, particularly if you're hoping to travel during peak season. "We saw very few deals during the 2021 and 2022 peak seasons. All-inclusive resorts seemed to follow a trend of increasing as the weeks and months ticked by," she says. "Our clients who didn't book the initial proposal we prepared often faced higher rates when they came back to book weeks or months later."

Read: The Trick to Finding Cheap Flights

Unfortunately, there isn't one easy answer to this question. It's generally possible to find cruise fares at a cheaper price than all-inclusive vacations, but cruises are known for having more hidden costs that can rack up during your trip. For example, not all cruise fares include alcoholic drinks; you may need to purchase a daily beverage package , which can quickly add to the bill. You may also have to pay more to access some restaurants on board or for excursions when the ship docks.

In contrast, all-inclusive resort rates usually include drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) and meals at all restaurants on the property. It's still possible to incur additional charges for services like spa treatments or some activities like a scuba diving trip, but such fees tend to be for much more obvious extras.

The best way to know whether a cruise or all-inclusive resort is right for you is to do your research before booking. Look at what a cruise fare does and doesn't include, and try to figure out how much you'll need to pay in extra fees to have the vacation you want. You can also check out our breakdown of how much a cruise costs and even browse all-inclusive cruise options to see if they're right for you.

7 of the best all-inclusive experiences to book this year, from a travel planner

• As a travel planner, my clients seem to be increasingly interested in all-inclusive trips .
• Some of my favorite luxury resorts are in Costa Rica, the Maldives, and Isla Mujeres.
• Cruises, group tours, and adults-only lodgings can also come with all-inclusive options. 

As a travel planner at Marvelous Mouse Travels , I know vacations are expensive — especially if you're looking to go somewhere this summer . But all-inclusive travel is often a great way to get the most value out of a luxury experience.

I've been on several all-inclusive vacations with my family, friends, and work, and I've helped other people book them in destinations around the world .

Here are some of the best all-inclusive experiences I'm recommending to my clients this year.

Try a split-stay vacation to see the best of Costa Rica.

Costa Rica is one of the most sought-after vacations , and for good reason. It's great for both relaxation and adventure.

I recommend booking a split stay, starting at an all-inclusive resort in Guanacaste near the beach for some fun in the sun and moving to a resort near the famous Arenal Volcano for a jungle adventure.

Some of my favorite resorts in Costa Rica are the Westin Reserva Conchal and the Dreams Las Mareas. And if you're looking for an even more unique experience, check out the glorious swim-out suites with private pools at Dreams.

Baglioni Maldives is one of my favorite all-inclusive resorts.

The Maldives, a remote set of islands in the Indian Ocean, offers a plethora of resort options for couples and families, but Baglioni Maldives is my favorite.

For many in the US, getting to the islands can be daunting — there are very few direct commercial flights, and it can take almost an entire day. But it's hard to beat the country's luxury accommodations and gorgeous landscape.

The Maldives also has some of the most beautiful marine life and coveted spots for snorkeling and scuba diving.

No matter where you go, overwater bungalows are the ultimate all-inclusive splurge.

Overwater bungalows — villas standing on poles over open ocean water — are prevalent at all-inclusive resorts in destinations like the Maldives, Fiji, and Bali.

But I've also come across the luxurious accommodations at select adults-only Sandals Resorts throughout the Caribbean.

I think having a private villa on the water is the perfect way to unwind and relax.

Adults-only vacations are on the rise.

Traveling with kids can be a blast, but I also think it's important for adults to take a much-needed break on their own.

Adults-only resorts have been a total respite for me and my husband after hectic months of juggling work with our kids' school and sports schedules.

If you're looking to unwind with a partner, relax on a girls' trip, or even connect with your adult children, there are countless adults-only, all-inclusive resorts to choose from, depending on where you're looking to visit.

Some properties, including Sandals and Beaches Resorts, also offer butler service. Designated staff members can help with anything from room requests and dining reservations to cabana rentals and transportation coordination.

I upgraded to the service at my favorite adults-only spot, Le Blanc Los Cabos, and I felt totally pampered.

Isla Mujeres is pure luxury.

Isla Mujeres, a small island off the coast of Cancún, is known for its crystal-clear, turquoise water and peaceful vibe. It's also home to Playa Norte, one of the best beaches in Mexico .

Impressions Isla Mujeres by Secrets is a gorgeous all-inclusive resort on the island. It offers luxury at its finest, but with only 125 rooms, it has a boutique feel.

One of my favorite features of the resort is the waterslide that leads right into the beautiful ocean.

There are plenty of all-inclusive packages at sea.

Cruising is one of the most popular vacations , whether it's an epic adventure on a Royal Caribbean Cruise, a couples-only journey on Virgin Voyages, or a regal tour of Europe on Viking River Cruises.

Although cruises aren't traditionally considered all-inclusive, with the right booking, they can have the same feel as a luxury resort.

Most cruise bookings include food, nonalcoholic drinks, and live entertainment. If you add beverage packages and excursions in advance, your trip should be fully paid for before you depart.

Book a small-group or private tour if you're looking for adventure.

Group travel is a great way to explore new places while soaking up culture and history.

Popular destinations include Italy, Japan, Costa Rica, and Alaska, and many travel companies take care of everything for you, essentially making it all-inclusive.

I like Adventures by Disney , which offers small-group travel all over the world facilitated by seasoned guides. All the trip details are taken care of, including experiences, food, lodging, and transportation.

Additionally, Kensington Tours offers luxury private travel where every facet of the trip is meticulously planned for you.

I Went on a Girls Trip to This Luxury, Adults-only Resort in Jamaica — Here's Why It Made Me Love All-inclusives

A few days catching up with my best friend over frothy drinks completely changed my mind about all-inclusive resorts.

Courtesy of Lauren Breedlove

I was lounging in the Jamaican sun, my face tipped to the sky in an effort to soak up every ounce of the vitamin D that my body had been deprived of all winter. Chicken tenders and nachos had just been delivered by a room service attendant who attempted to hide her smile at the scene of our poolside picnic. As if this wasn’t paradise enough, my best friend and I were bobbing around in unicorn and flamingo floats, drinks in hand, toasting to a reunion two years in the making. 

We had just arrived at Excellence Oyster Bay , an adults-only luxury resort just outside of Montego Bay, Jamaica, for the kind of trip I usually avoid: all-inclusives. Not that spending a few days on the beach gorging myself on limitless food and adult beverages sounds terrible by any means, but when I travel, my style is go-go-go. I like to pack in all the things, experience the local culture and cuisine, and venture off the beaten path, and my past few experiences at all-inclusive resorts had been anything but that — crowded and with mediocre, buffet-style food. For that reason, I’d always avoided them, until now. 

My best friend of 30 years and I had thrown around a few ideas when planning a trip to celebrate our 40th birthdays. Despite being long-distance friends for more years than we actually resided in the same city, we had remained close since meeting in 7th grade band practice. After almost two years of not seeing each other, we were ready to celebrate and relax, which meant I needed to let go of my usual travel planning mentality. As it turns out, the turquoise-laden shores of Excellence Oyster Bay was the perfect place to do just that.

I’ll be honest, the thought of spending four days solely on the resort’s property made me a little antsy. But the friendly staff and ocean view from our room kicked relaxation mode in high gear. (The welcome glass of prosecco didn’t hurt, either.) In fact, having zero plans for several uninterrupted days dedicated to catching up with my oldest friend in a low-key setting was liberating. My mind was no longer attempting to maximize every minute; instead, I was entering go-with-the-flow mode — and that called for a frozen drink with my feet in the sand. 

On our first evening, we explored the resort grounds, which were big yet not so sprawling that reaching the opposite end demanded a super-long walk. We caught up over sunset; cotton-candy clouds mirrored in the calm Caribbean. With a smorgasbord of restaurants to choose from, dinnertime was our oyster. Over the course of our stay, we dabbled in Italian cuisine , got fancy at Chez Isabelle , tried local specialties like curried goat and oxtail stew at Caribbean Grove , and indulged in sommelier-picked wines on our final night at Zenith . Some of our favorites were the quick eats for lunch by the pool and beach; spicy jerk chicken at Jerk Hut and the Jamaican patties at Cielo Bar, washed down with a Red Stripe beer, of course. 

We spent mornings at the beach, which, contrary to my prior all-inclusive experiences, were quiet. Since the resort is located on its own private, gated peninsula, there wasn’t anyone trying to sell us anything. Afternoons were for pool-hopping, specifically in the floats I had ordered and painstakingly shoved into my carry-on suitcase, rendering it a lumpy piece of checked luggage (totally worth it). We became known as the "float girls" around the resort, dipping in all four of the communal pools, two of which were exclusive to Excellence Club guests. Excellence Club guests also get access to private beach areas, private check-in and checkout, and a laundry list of other perks.

A hydrotherapy treatment was included in our stay, so we ventured to the Miilé Spa one afternoon for the multistep process that had us both laughing so hard, our cheeks hurt. We bonded over the hot and cold water stations, one of which involved dumping a bucket of cold water over our heads.

There were plenty of activities , from stand-up paddleboarding to biking to yoga classes, and you can choose to do as much or little as you’d like. Surprisingly, I relished in not doing much of anything at all, except hanging out with my best friend and relaxing in the spectacular sunshine. The one thing we knew we couldn’t pass up was a nighttime excursion that had always been on my wish list: seeing bioluminescent water. The resort happens to be a short boat ride from this natural phenomenon, where we were able to swim in the water, creating a light show of electric blue all around us. 

The post-dinner scene was lively, with music and other performances every night. We danced to the Bob Marley cover band, and sometime during karaoke, I realized I was the most relaxed I’d been while traveling in a long time. The trip paid homage to the sleepovers of our teen years, when we had few worries and could always find something to laugh about in between never-ending chatter. Giving into the all-inclusive mentality gifted me permission to chill out and be fully present, and, as it turns out, I didn’t have to choose between a trip centered around cultural and culinary experiences — I could have a bit of both.

I boarded the plane with salty hair, some fresh memories with my best friend, and the small miracle of somehow fitting those pool floats back in my suitcase without breaking the zipper. I think I’ll do it again sometime.

Planning an All-Inclusive Montego Bay Vacation? This Resort Is a Great Option.
