Best All Inclusive Resorts for Families - We Review All-Inclusive Resorts

Zoëtry Curaçao

Why We Recommend It: Zoetry Curaçao is the smaller, classier sister resort of Dreams Curaçao whose facilities and beach Zoetry guests have full access to. It has very high-quality food and drink, and superb accommodation, things that place it firmly in the luxury resort category. It has great spa services (one spa treatment free per guest per stay) and, as most of the (potentially noisy) entertainment is across the road at Dreams, is very much a place to relax and unwind. Its location, by the lovely Piscadera Bay is, rather … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Beaches Turks & Caicos

Why We Recommend It: Beaches Turks & Caicos is a sprawling, 65-acre all-inclusive resort on Providenciales with a water park, a shopping center, a spa complex, ten pools, twelve bars, twenty restaurants and more. It’s family-friendly and constantly busy and lively, so if it’s a peaceful break you’re after this might not be the place. Once that’s accepted though Beaches Turks & Caicos has a very impressive setup, and can be thoroughly enjoyable and fun for all ages. Rooms & Suites: You have four semi-distinct zones, or villages, at Beaches: … READ THE REVIEW HERE

The Royal Sands Cancun

Why We Recommend It: The Royal Sands is a consistently highly rated, upper mid-range all-inclusive in the middle of Cancun, Mexico’s Hotel Zone.

Cozumel Palace

Why We Recommend It: The swanky, 175-room, Cozumel Palace All Inclusive lies near the center of San Miguel de Cozumel less than a mile from the ferry port. The stretch of beach is small here but the resort has a large pool area with wonderful open sea views. Their food is a highlight, rooms are spacious and comfortable, service is legendary, water-based activities are numerous, and overall Cozumel Palace offers a very enjoyable vacation. The resort is family-friendly but doesn’t have too much specifically for kids – though they do … 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

Sonesta Maho Beach Resort

Why We Recommend It: St. Martin’s & Sint Maarten Island’s largest resort is the Sonesta Maho Beach, a solidly good value choice located conveniently beside the airport on the Dutch side. So close to the airport in fact that, quite famously, the planes landing at Princess Juliana Airport overfly Maho Beach seemingly just meters above tourists’ heads. A classic photo opportunity for most visitors to Sint Maarten. Sonesta Maho Beach is an energetic all-inclusive resort with a clientele that includes a lot of families but with also lots to keep … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Beach at Spice Island, and all inclusive resort in Grenada.

Spice Island Beach Resort

Why We Recommend It: Right on what is generally considered Grenada’s best beach, Grand Anse, is what many consider the country’s best resort–the elegant Spice Island Beach Resort. It has 64 high-class suites which grace the quieter southern end of the beach and though it is a luxury resort it has a laid-back, relaxed charm. The staff here are excellent, and the food equally so. It has very nice spa facilities and a host of land and sea activities on offer. No single demographic dominates — honeymoon couples, elderly retirees, … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Sandos Finisterra Los Cabos

Why We Recommend It: Sandos Finisterra in Cabo San Lucas is a very impressive-looking, 250-room clifftop resort with arguably the best views of any resort in Los Cabos. It is an upmarket affair but offers a choice of reasonably priced rooms alongside plush VIP suites. The crowd is well-heeled and mature but can certainly let its hair down, so nightlife shouldn’t disappoint. The resort is also family friendly though and has a good kid’s club. Other facilities include four swimming pools, a lovely stretch of beach, a spa center, a … READ THE REVIEW HERE

St. Kitts Marriott

Why We Recommend It: This particular Marriott is a huge, luxury all-inclusive in St. Kitts’ Frigate Bay, with nearly 400 rooms and suites. It can be lively and fun but the grounds are so large that you can also fairly easily avoid the crowds. They have a very impressive range of facilities here: three large pools & three whirlpools, a gorgeous white sandy beach, a casino, a spa, a golf course, four tennis courts, eight dining venues, and a great number of activities both on and off-site. It is family-friendly … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Zoëtry Isla Mujeres

Why We Recommend It: Zoëtry Villa Rolandi is a boutique 5 Star all-inclusive on Cancun’s Isla Mujeres built in 2015 to compliment one of The Riviera Maya’s most esteemed restaurants: the Swiss-Italian Casa Rolandi. It attracts a barefoot chic, upmarket crowd, and the atmosphere is quiet and calm – people very much come here to relax and unwind. With only 35 suites it is also remarkably small for an all-inclusive resort making it feel even more exclusive still. Among its facilities are three pools, the famous Casa Rolandi restaurant plus … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Ocean view at House of AiA, an all inclusive resort in Playa del Carmen.

Palmaïa, House of AïA

Why We Recommend It: Palmaïa, The House of AïA, is a very highly rated, 5 Star, wellness retreat in a private corner of Playacar Beach, Playa del Carmen. It only opened its doors in late 2019 but, despite this woefully unlucky timing, it has quickly created a buzz on the Riviera Maya and beyond. Eco-friendly vegan wellness might seem a tricky thing for an all-inclusive resort to pull off, and vice versa, but Palmaïa, The House of AïA has married the two to great effect. It offers ‘holistic activities and … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Alexandra All inclusive resort Providenciales

Alexandra Resort Providenciales

Why We Recommend It: Right in the middle of the sublime Grace Bay Beach in Providenciales, Turks & Caicos (voted the best beach in the Caribbean on numerous occasions), Alexandra Resort has a tremendous location.

There is a small spa … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Family friendly all inclusive in Isla Mujeres: Mia Reef.

Mia Reef Isla Mujeres

Why We Recommend It: Mia Reef is a fabulous, family-friendly 5 Star all-inclusive on a private island just off Isla Mujeres. Its location makes it feel rather exclusive and it has an absolutely pristine stretch of private beach. As the islet is small and is surrounded on almost all sides by open water many rooms come with lovely sea views. It’s a friendly, sociable place and, due to the limited size of the islet, can sometimes feel busy, but the atmosphere is always very nicely laid back, and with just … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Family friendly all inclusive in Montego Bay -Jewel Grande.

Jewel Grande Montego Bay

Why We Recommend It: The family-friendly Jewel Grande is a luxury all-inclusive in Montego Bay with an emphasis on wellness. It has relatively few rooms for an all-inclusive which means it is more personable than most and rarely feels crowded. Likewise, though it’s family-friendly it still feels laid back and relaxed, and sees lots of couples on romantic breaks as well as singles, groups of friends and families. It has seven restaurants, two bars including a swim-up, three cafes, two scenic pools sitting high above the ocean, a nice long … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Waves Resort Barbados

Why We Recommend It: Waves is an all-inclusive, boutique luxury resort in Prospect Bay, between Holetown and Bridgetown, Barbados.

Grand Bavaro Princess

Why We Recommend It: One of the Dominican Republic’s most well-known all-inclusives, Grand Bavaro Princess is a 5 Star resort in Bavaro Beach, Punta Cana, one of the Caribbean’s most lovely stretches of sand and water. It is a huge resort with two swimming pools, a full-service spa, and a wide selection of restaurants, bars, sports, and entertainment zones. It is very family-friendly – kids are very well taken care of – but it’s also a place where grown-ups can let their hair down. It generally sees a good mixture … READ THE REVIEW HERE

Beach at Wind Creek, an all inclusive resort in Curaçao.

Renaissance Wind Creek

Why We Recommend It: Renaissance Wind Creek offers 5 Star luxury accommodation, and an on-site casino, in the heart of Curaçao’s tourist district. It is a fabulous resort, run by the Marriott Company, and attracts a well-heeled international clientele. It is not fully all-inclusive It can be noted, rather that it offers all-inclusive packages alongside pay-as-you-go. Though Renaissance Wind Creek is family-friendly, the majority of guests will be adults. Rooms & Suites: Their 237 rooms and suites vary wildly, from windowless internal rooms (the cheapest obviously!) to top-of-the-range suites with … READ THE REVIEW HERE
