Aerial view of the Royalton Hideaway Resort in St. Lucia.

Hideaway at Royalton St. Lucia

Why We Recommend It: Hideaway at Royalton All-Inclusive Saint Lucia is the very swanky adults-only section of the huge Royalton St. Lucia resort complex. Guests here have access to the myriad facilities of the broader resort along with Hideaway’s exclusive facilities – a very nice infinity pool, a section of private beach and a restaurant and bar. The Royalton is part of the Marriott hotel group’s foray into the all-inclusive market and you’ll find standards very high on all fronts. Rooms & Suites: Standards at the Hideaway are particularly high … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Sandals All Inclusive in Emerald Bay, Bahamas.

Sandals Emerald Bay

Why We Recommend It: Sandals Emerald Bay is an adults-only 5 Star resort on Great Exuma, one of two Sandals’ resorts in The Bahamas. It’s a 245-room property with a lovely, mile-long stretch of beach and 500 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. It’s a friendly, sociable place but with more than enough space for couples to find as much alone time as they wish. Amongst other things, it has seven restaurants, a good social scene, numerous pools, tennis courts, spa facilities, and a scenic, 18-hole, Greg Norman-designed golf course with … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Warwick Paradise Island

Why We Recommend It: In a nice spot overlooking Nassau Harbour on the island’s southern shore, Warwick Paradise Island, Bahamas is an upscale adults-only all-inclusive (16+) that, with 250 rooms, is smaller, more intimate, and more manageable than other local resorts. Facilities include a large pool complex, a nice clean stretch of beach, a fitness center, spa facilities, tennis and basketball courts, and seven dining and drinking venues. The atmosphere is laid back and relatively mature. It’s not so much a party resort but like all good all-inclusives it can … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Sandals Royal Plantation

Why We Recommend It: Sandals Royal Plantation, Jamaica is a very elegant, colonial-era estate near Ocho Rios’ resort zone, which is now a Sandals adults-only, 5-Star all-inclusive, one which differs somewhat from most Sandals in its relatively low-key, refined atmosphere. With just 74 suites in total (plus one private villa), it is intimate and personable too, and it is Sandals’ only All Butler Resort, i.e. all accommodation options come with private butler service. The food at the restaurants is entirely a la carte too, another rarity in all-inclusive resorts. With … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Iberostar Grand Rose Hall

Why We Recommend It: Iberostar Grand Rose Hall is a very impressive 5 Star, adults-only all-inclusive resort in Montego Bay, the most upscale of three adjacent Iberostar resorts. A stay here allows full access to the facilities of these two other resorts – Iberostar Rose Hall Beach & Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites – but not vice versa, making Grand Rose Hall feel extra exclusive. The clientele here is also upmarket, and of varying ages, with many couples, and there is much less raucousness than at most of the other … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Sandals Grande St. Lucian

Why We Recommend It: The all-inclusive, adults-only, Sandals Grande St. Lucian is another solidly good Sandals resort with a range of accommodations from top-of-the-range overwater bungalows to decent value more basic suites. The overwater bungalows, the only ones in St. Lucia and one of just a few in the entire Caribbean, take center stage here. They are a honeymoon favorite and, with only nine of them, they get booked up long before the other suites and rooms. The service throughout this resort is excellent: professional but personable. Their food and … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Pool at Sandals Royal Curacao all inclusive resort.

Sandals Royal Curaçao

Why We Recommend It: Brand new in 2022 was Sandals Royal Curaçao. The company took over the former Santa Barbara Resort and transformed it into the adults-only, 5-Star playground we see today. All of the hallmarks of a Sandals vacation can be found in the 3000-acre Santa Barbara Estate, plus (a first for the company) a giant, two-level infinity pool at its center, and two on-site marinas. It is also, very conveniently, just 15 minutes away from Curaçao International Airport. Rooms & Suites: Sandals Royal Curaçao has 350 luxury units in total … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Sandals Ochi

Why We Recommend It: The 5 Star Sandals Ochi is a large and lively, adults-only all-inclusive in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The setting is beautiful – a lush, hundred-acre estate overlooking the ocean – and it has a tremendous array of facilities including sixteen restaurants and eleven bars. It also has two spa centers, dozens of pools and whirlpools, and, among its many sports facilities, one of Jamaica’s best golf courses and the largest climbing wall in the Caribbean. Rooms & Suites: They have 529 rooms, suites, and villas at Sandals … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Privilege Aluxes

Why We Recommend It: Privilege Aluxes is a luxury all-inclusive at Playa Norte, Isla Mujeres’ best beach, that receives consistently great reviews, particularly for its staff. It is a small and intimate resort and can be seen as something of an antidote to the many larger, busier all-inclusives in Cancun. It has three restaurants and three bars, one a swim-up bar in the main pool, a large, full-service beach club on Playa Norte, and a spa and gym. It is adults-only, couples mainly, and a solid choice for our list … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Pueblo Bonito Pacifica

Why We Recommend It: One of five Pueblo Bonito resorts in Los Cabos, Pueblo Bonito Pacifica is a classy, 4.5 star, adults-only all-inclusive ten minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas. There are five fine restaurants at the resort and four bars. It’s an upscale place and, far more so than most adults-only resorts in Cabo, is a place to relax and unwind, though you also have the benefit of regular free shuttles to and from the other Pueblo Pacifica resorts which have a more lively nightlife scene. Facilities are excellent, … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Live Aqua Resort. An adults only all inclusive in Punta Cana.

Live Aqua Punta Cana

Why We Recommend It: On the lovely Uvero Alto Beach lies a fairly new addition to the Dominican Republic’s collection of resorts – the adults-only Live Aqua Resort. It is a 5 Star Punta Cana all-inclusive that is more than a step ahead of the competition in this ever-popular Caribbean vacation hotspot. The food, the service, the facilities, and the design and decor all consistently impress and, with it being a relatively small resort, the atmosphere is more personable than most. It sits on the lovely Uvero Alto Beach, a … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Beach at Paradise Island all inclusive resort, Bahamas.

Riu Palace Paradise Island

Why We Recommend It: Hotel Riu Palace is a high-end, adults-only all-inclusive next door to the infamous Atlantis casino, hotel, and nightclub complex on The Bahamas’ Paradise Island. It’s a relatively small resort but one which gets lively, especially around the pool bars, and it can be seen as a party resort though spring break groups are not allowed. Rooms & Suites: Their suites, which range in size from entry level 334 sq. ft. doubles to 753 sq ft two-bedroom units, are comfortable and spacious. They are also nicely furnished with … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Breathless Punta Cana

Why We Recommend It: Breathless Resort is an adults-only all-inclusive on Punta Cana’s Uvero Alto Beach that has been a very popular choice with young visitors since its inception in 2013. It’s a luxury resort – though technically a 4 Star it can certainly outdo many 5 Star resorts – and it has the consistently strong reviews to back that up. There have 750 bright and colorful suites here in total but even in high season it really never feels too packed. The resort covers a large area so everyone … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Swimming pools at all inclusive resort in Cabo San Lucas.

Riu Palace Baja California

Why We Recommend It: Opened in late 2018, Riu Palace Baja is the third Riu resort in its huge Los Cabos complex, joining Hotel Riu Santa Fe and Hotel Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas. All three are of course all-inclusive but only Riu Palace Baja is adults-only, and is also a tad more upscale, and more expensive, than the other two. It sees a nice mixture of couples on romantic breaks and groups of friends of all ages. It’s a popular resort so book well in advance if possible, and … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Sonesta Ocean Point

Why We Recommend It: One of two Sonesta all-inclusive resorts in Sint Maarten, Sonesta Ocean Point sits right beside its larger neighbor, Sonesta Maho Beach. Sonesta Ocean Point differs quite a bit from Sonesta Maho Beach though. It is adults-only, a lot more luxurious, 5 Star even, and has a much more sedate, refined atmosphere. Guests here though have full access to all the facilities of its more lively neighbor. Ocean Point is also therefore by the famous Maho Beach, where planes landing at Princess Juliana Airport fly over seemingly … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Swimming pool at Sandals Resort Grenada.

Sandals Grenada

Why We Recommend It: Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa is an adults-only (& couples-only – as with all Sandals), 5 Star luxury all-inclusive less than a five-minute drive from Grenada (Maurice Bishop) International Airport. It lies on a 17-acre estate beside the scenic (though small, it must be said) Pink Gin Beach. It has 10 restaurants and bars, five pools, spa facilities, and a whole host of water and land-based activities. The service is consistently good, the atmosphere relaxed and friendly, and though it is generally a romantic getaway for … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Royal Hideaway Playacar

Why We Recommend It: Royal Hideaway Playacar is a 5-Star all-inclusive for adults only in Playa del Carmen that is a low-key, classy antidote to the many high-energy all-inclusives of the Riviera Maya. It has 6 gourmet restaurants, all a la carte, 3 bars, 6 pools, a full-service spa, a fitness center, numerous land and water sports facilities, and a gorgeous stretch of white sand beach among its attractions. It can get lively but it’s not a party resort. The upmarket clientele is mainly looking to relax, and the atmosphere … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Excellence Playa Mujeres

Why We Recommend It: Certainly one of the classiest all-inclusives in Cancun, and indeed in Mexico, Excellence Playa Mujeres is an adults-only, luxury resort in a secluded location just north of the city with its own private marina. It has 450 rooms and suites, seven pools, ten restaurants, eleven bars, top-of-the-range spa facilities, sporting activities, daily and nightly entertainment, and even a theater. It attracts an upmarket crowd, the majority of them couples, of all ages. It can be lively and fun but the relatively sophisticated crowd means it never … READ THE REVIEW HERE

All Inclusive Adults Only Resort in Cancun - Le Blanc.

Le Blanc Spa Resort

Why We Recommend It: It’s not cheap by any means but the decidedly swanky Le Blanc Spa Resort is to our minds the finest adults-only all-inclusive in Cancun. It’s a gorgeously chic property with opulent spa facilities, fabulous bars and restaurants (all but one of which don’t require reservations), and levels of service and pampering unmatched by almost any other resort in Cancun. Rooms & Suites: Their rooms and suites are bright, spacious, and very well-appointed, and generally come with views of the lagoon or the ocean. Only some have full balconies … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Sandals all inclusive private island resort, Nassau, Bahamas.

Sandals Royal Bahamian

Why We Recommend It: Sandals Royal Bahamian is a relatively small, adults-only 5 Star resort in Nassau, Bahamas with an illustrious history going right back to the 1940s. Back then it was the swanky Balmoral Club one of the leading lights in the dawn of luxury Caribbean travel, and one which saw a steady stream of famous guests from Richard Nixon to The Beatles. It became a Sandals in 1995 and received a major re-fit in 2022. It now has three levels of accommodation, twelve dining options, eight bars, two … READ THE REVIEW HERE
