What is All-Inclusive?

All-inclusive resorts roll your stay into a single up-front price. Your room, all meals, snacks, beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), most on-site activities, gratuities for resort staff, and entertainment are included — so once you arrive, you can leave your wallet in the room safe and just relax.

What’s typically included:

• Accommodations and resort fees
• Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks at multiple restaurants on property
• Premium-brand cocktails, wine, beer, and soft drinks
• Non-motorized water sports (kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling gear)
• Pools, beach access, lounge chairs, towel service
• Live entertainment, theme nights, and resort-led activities
• Tips for waitstaff, housekeeping, and bartenders

What’s usually not included: airfare, off-property excursions, spa treatments, certified scuba diving, motorized water sports, premium restaurants requiring a supplement, and gift-shop purchases.

Family Resorts

Family-friendly resorts are designed to keep parents, kids, and grandparents all happy at the same property. The best ones invest in supervised kids’ clubs, age-appropriate activities, family suites or connecting rooms, and pools or water parks that make “just one more day” the inevitable refrain.

What to look for in a family resort:

• Kids’ clubs for ages 4–12 with daily supervised programming — the best ones are free, and certified staff use it as an excuse to let parents enjoy a quiet lunch
• Teen lounges with video games, pool tables, and dedicated activities for the 13–17 crowd
• Family suites or connecting rooms so everyone has space without paying for two separate rooms
• Water parks and lazy rivers — the difference between a vacation kids love and one they merely tolerate
• Multiple kid-friendly restaurants with high chairs, simple menus, and tolerance for spilled drinks
• Babysitting services so parents can have a date night without leaving the property

Brands we book most often for families: Beaches Resorts (Sandals’ family brand), Hyatt Ziva, Moon Palace, Iberostar Star Prestige Family, Club Med, Atlantis (Bahamas), Disney’s Aulani (Hawaii), and Grand Velas. Multi-generational trips frequently end up at Hyatt Ziva/Zilara campuses, which pair a family resort and an adults-only resort under one operator.

Adults-Only Resorts

Adults-only resorts (typically 18+ or 21+) are built around the rhythm of a vacation without children. Quieter pools, more refined dining rooms, more sophisticated entertainment, and a noticeably calmer pace. Perfect for couples, honeymoons, milestone anniversaries, girls’ or guys’ trips, and anyone who wants their getaway to actually feel like a getaway.

What to expect:

• Premium accommodations — swim-up suites, butler service, oceanfront rooms, and rooftop terraces
• Multiple restaurants including specialty (French, Italian, Asian, steakhouse) with no buffet expectations
• Top-shelf bar programs — craft cocktails, sommelier-led wine lists, and pool-deck bottle service
• Spa and wellness focus with hydrotherapy circuits, sound baths, couples treatments, and yoga at dawn
• Live music, lounges, and DJ-led pool parties instead of family-show entertainment
• Romance amenities — private beach dinners, in-room spa, anniversary turn-downs

Brands we book most often for adults-only: Sandals Resorts (Caribbean & couples-only), Excellence Resorts, Le Blanc Spa Resort, Secrets Resorts & Spas, Royalton CHIC, Hyatt Zilara, Hard Rock All-Inclusive (adults sections), TRS Hotels, and Couples Resorts. For ultra-luxury adults-only: Belmond Maroma (Riviera Maya), Jade Mountain (St. Lucia), and Calala Island (Nicaragua).
