Pigeon Island
Gros Islet
LC01 601
Saint LuciaThe all inclusive, adults only, Sandals Grande St. Lucian is another solidly good Sandals resort with a range of accommodation from top of the range overwater bungalows to decent value more basic suites. The overwater bungalows, the only ones on 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 drink are of the highest order and there is a great range of all inclusive activities on offer. Accommodation: They have a nice range of accommodation at the resort from, at the top of the price range, the Overwater Bungalows, Beach and Presidential Suites to a number of very good value lower level suites. Their gorgeous overwater bungalows are very special of course but also, despite their price, incredibly popular. If you’re interested and you see one free for your dates you’d be wise to book it immediately. We like the beach suites a lot too though. They might not have the same novelty value but they are pretty special in their own right. They are just steps from the beach but nicely positioned to feel private and relatively secluded. Lower down the scale you can, depending on your dates, you can find some very good value at Sandals St Lucian. Even their lowest level of suite seem pretty indulgent. All will be spacious and airy and come with hardwood floors, comfortable king-size beds, large smart TVs and generously stocked free mini bar etc. etc. Some suites have large, spa style bathrooms with soaking tubs for two. You’ll have 24 hour room service, and in some suites you have the services of a personal butler. Prices: Check out all price details at the Sandals website here, at Booking.com here and at Expedia here. Food, Facilities & Things to Do: Sandals Grande St. Lucian has twelve restaurants and bars which include a British style pub and a very lively swim-up pool bar. Check them all out here.

Cabo San Lucas
Los Cabos
MexicoOpened 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 are 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 note that there is a minimum stay of three nights. Accommodation: The 602 rooms at Riu Baja are all in suite form, starting with 430 sq ft Junior Suites, some of which come with views, some of which don’t, then slightly larger Junior Suites then their top of the range 764 sq ft Full Suites which come with tremendous open ocean views. They sleep a maximum of four, on two double beds, in the case of the larger Junior Suites, or on one king bed and one sofa bed in the case of the Full Suites. All are bright, airy and nicely furnished, and come with some outside space – a balcony or patio. Their bathrooms are particularly luxurious and all suites have a free standing bathtub in the room. Other facilities include bathrobes, minibar, air-con, blackout curtains or drapes, satellite TV, WiFi, safes, tea/coffee makers, drinks dispensers and 24 hour room service. Prices: Check out all the price details at Booking.com here and at Expedia.com here. Food, Facilities & Things to Do: You have some great buffet spreads at Riu Baja which also involve live cooking shows, and you also have a la carte Steakhouse grill, Japanese, Italian and Indian. The latter three are fairly formal affairs, men are obliged to wear long trousers and shirts for dinner for example, and their Krystal Restaurant is more formal again. It’s a fine dining venue specializing in what it terms fusion gourmet. Snacks and casual fast food are available at the bars though. There is a snack bar open 24 hours too and of course you have 24 hour room service. All food READ MORE -
Address: Royalton Saint Lucia
Becune Point
Gros Islet
LC01 601
Saint LuciaHideaway at Royalton All Inclusive Saint Lucia is the 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, section of private beach, 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. Accommodation: Standards at the Hideaway are particularly high on the accommodation front, more so than The Royalton resort in general. Their entry level accommodation is the Junior Suite, some of them swim up with semi-private pools. At 600 sq ft they are spacious and come with seating areas/work areas, sofa beds, balconies or terraces and beautiful bathrooms. Then your choices go straight to the Presidential Suite and Penthouse level which might be some of the best accommodation on St. Lucia. They share the same amenities as the Junior Suites, though some also come with jacuzzis, but they are larger obviously, more than double the size in fact. They also come with the best views. All the accommodation is kitted out with the best of modern amenities: bluetooth sound systems, smart TVs, Royalton’s signature DreamBeds, minibars, coffee makers, aromatherapy menus, and in the opulent bathrooms: bathtubs, double sinks, rainfall showers and luxury bath products. The accommodation also has a choice of Diamond Club or not. Going for the upgrade allows access to VIP lounges, pools, a section of beach (and beach bar), and enhanced room service including the services of a butler for the duration of your stay. Prices: Check out all the price details on tat Booking.com here, at Expedia.com here or on the Marriott website here. Food, Facilities & Things to Do: This is a luxury all inclusive and the food here is excellent. As mentioned guests at the Hideaway have access to all venues of Royalton Saint Lucia, all but one a la carte, and, very happily, none of them require reservations. These include Armadillo which serves Tex-Mex, Marché the all day buffet restaurant. Zen does Japanese sushi and teppanyaki. Grazie is an READ MORE -
Address: Live Aqua Beach Resort
Uvero Alto Beach
Punta Cana
23300
Dominican RepublicOn the lovely Uvero Alto Beach lies a fairly new addition to 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 quieter more relaxed stretch of golden sand than those nearer the center of Punta Cana. Accommodation: Aqua Live has a broad range of very elegant rooms and suites including swim up, with luxury amenities that include private infinity pools and jacuzzis. All have some outside space, either a terrace or balcony, and they are generous in general with space – their smallest rooms are around 500 square feet, not all that much less than the largest suites which are around 860 sq ft. Check all your options out on the booking page here (Expedia). Each has a choice of view, either garden, pool or beach, with the beach views, not surprisingly, being the more expensive. Prices: Enter dates and compare prices at Booking.com here and at Expedia.com here. Food, Facilities & Things to Do: It must be said the food at Live Aqua is exceptionally good for an all inclusive resort, or for any resort for that matter, in Punta Cana or anywhere else. Live Aqua is a reasonably small resort but you have a very good selection of quality food venues. Your choices include Liberi, their main restaurant and breakfast spot, it serves a broad range of international dishes both buffet and a la carte. Then there’s Sospiro, their relatively casual Italian a la carte. Huzur has dishes from right across Mediterranean, Seishin does Asian Fusion, Atl does some great Mexican while Miraflores does a range of ceviche and other seafood. All of their venues have a reasonably casual atmosphere except for their French traditional Chez Rose Restaurant which is undoubtedly formal. Room service can deliver food from any of these venues READ MORE -

Cabo San Lucas
Los Cabos

MexicoOne of five Pueblo Bonito resorts in Los Cabos, Pueblo Bonito Pacifica is a luxury (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 tranquil than most adults only resorts but there are free shuttles to and from the other Pueblo Pacifica resorts which have more of a night life scene. Other facilities include two swimming pools, a hot tub, nice gym facilities, 24 hour room service (and butler service in some suites), a spa and access to the adjacent Jack Nicklaus designed Quivira Golf Club. Accommodation: Pueblo Bonito Pacifica has 201 rooms in total, 47 of which are in two separate VIP buildings called The Towers, which are more upscale with some having private plunge pools, and all having extra perks like 24 hour butler service, a VIP lounge and private beach cabanas. The rest of the rooms and suites aren’t much of a step below though. All are spacious and elegantly furnished and decorated, all have balconies or patios and many have spa baths. Check out your options at Expedia.com here. Standard amenities include premium cable TV, air-con, mini bars with some premium liquors, coffeemakers, bathrobes, luxury toiletries and 24 hour room service. Prices: Check out all the price details at Booking.com here and at Expedia.com here. Food, Facilities & Things to Do: Open for breakfast are the Siempre and Peninsula Restaurants, the latter offering a la carte, the former a la carte and buffet, both offering international but with a strong Mexican slant. Peninsula is open for lunch too and you have food all day at the Aire Restaurant and Bocados Deli, both casual poolside eateries with a whole range of snacks, sandwiches, fast food, salads etc. For some classy evening dining try Pescados. The menu has a lot of Asian – sushi, sashimi and Asian fusion, and the views are lovely, especially at sunset. Siempre is another chic venue with Mediterranean cuisine. The dress code for dinner is formal for both and reservations can be required. All food and drink across the resort is included in the READ MORE -

Great Exuma
Exuma
BahamasSandals 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 different restaurants, a good social scene, numerous pools, tennis courts, spa facilities and a scenic, 18-hole, Greg Norman designed golf course with green fees all inclusive. Accommodation: Their 245 rooms are divided into various categories and price points, from solidly good entry level choices to their most expensive option: the very impressive, two story detached, beachfront One Bedroom Butler Villa Suites. Mini mansions you could say, they offer loads of space indoors and out, private plunge pools and broad, unobstructed views over the sand and sea. Entry level rooms are very good value at this resort though, with their most basic choice lacking very little except large amounts of space maybe. Check out your options on the Sandals website here. They all have a nice old colonial feel with impressive mahogany furniture including poster beds. All have some degree of outside space – balcony or patio – and some kind of sea view. There are two levels of service to choose from at Sandals Emerald Bay: Club Level, their entry level offering, and Butler Level. The Butler Level has of course a personal butler service, but also perks such as premium liquor in the mini bar, pillow menus and separate bedrooms and living rooms. All bathrooms are plush and spacious with marble vanity units, bath tubs, luxury bathrobes and the usual opulent Red Lane Spa toiletries. Prices: You can check out price details on the Sandals website here Food Facilities & Things to Do: The large, two-level Bahama Bay is the resort’s main restaurant and serves international buffet spreads for breakfast and lunch, and a la carte, mainly Caribbean dishes, for dinner. Cafe de Paris is the main coffee shop and also serves up pastries, snacks, desserts and smoothies all day. READ MORE -

Montego Bay
St. James Parish
JamaicaThe very first Sandals, Sandals Montego Bay, is still among the most well known and popular all inclusives in Montego Bay and ın Jamaica. Its 26 acre estate sits by a long, lovely stretch of beach just minutes from Sangster International Airport and is a busy, lively place with a typically Sandals range of 5 Star facilities including nine quality restaurants, a spa center, six pools, three whirlpools and numerous sports facilities. Accommodation: The 272 rooms and suites are divided into 27 categories, from basic entry level rooms to some very lovely swim up butler serviced suites They are all modern style, bright and sleek with the exception of the Caribbean category rooms which are more old colonial style. Most have four poster king size beds and all, as is typical with Sandals, have very nice marble bathrooms with bathtub and shower. All but the entry level rooms also come with a whirlpool on their terrace or balcony. Check out all your options on the Sandals Website here. Club-level rooms grant access to the Club Sandals private lounge plus extra perks such as a dedicated concierge and round-trip private BMW airport transfers from Sangster or Norman Manley Airports. The Butler Elite shares the same perks but with a private butler and 24-hour in-room dining menus. Prices: Check out price details at the Sandals website here or at Expedia here. Food, Facilities & Things to Do: There are nine quality restaurants at Sandals Montego Bay. The main one, Bayside, does the enormous buffet breakfasts and lunches then goes for a la carte French menu for dinner. You have food from all around the world here: Asian, Italian, Mexican Jamaican and Caribbean are all represented and the food quality is consistently very high. Two need reservations and are semi-formal: the Jamaican eatery Oleander, and the Italian Cucina Romana.

Pink Gin Beach
St. George's
GrenadaSandals Grenada Resort & Spa is an adults only (couples only), 5 Star luxury all inclusive less than five minutes 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 to enjoy. The service is consistently good, the atmosphere relaxed and friendly, and though it is a romantic getaway for couples the bars can get pretty lively. Accommodation: There are 225 rooms & suites in total here, within a wide range of categories and price ranges, and set over four different sections: Pink Gin Village, South Seas Village, Italian Village and Lover’s Lagoon Hideaway. These sections, though stylistically somewhat different, are broadly similar and so there probably won’t be any important reason to prefer one ‘village’ over the other. Most of the top level suites are to be found in the Italian Village and South Seas Village, though the Pink Gin Village is closer to the beach. Internally all rooms are classy, luxurious and beautifully furnished and fitted. Some come with spacious living areas, terraces with soaking tubs, spa bathrooms, private, infinity edge plunge pools, stunning views and 24 hour butler service. Take a look at all your options on the Sandals own website here. The top suites may not be within everyone’s budget of course, but even the most basic of rooms at Sandals Grenada will make you feel pampered. Pick of the bunch though at Sandals Grenada we think are their ‘Italian Oceanview Skypool Butler Suite with Balcony & Tranquility Soaking Tub,’ These are plush one bedroom apartments with sweeping sea views and private infinity plunge pools, accessible both from the balcony and the bedroom. The living area offers a comfortable sofa, dining table for four, study desk, balcony with sun loungers, smart TV and wet bar with top brand liquors. Their bathrooms are opulent and stylish, clad in Carrera marble and ivory patika travertine stone, they come with Kohler claw foot bathtubs and luxury, Sandals Red Lane, toiletries.

Paradise Island
Nassau
New Providence
BahamasHotel 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. Accommodation: 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 impressive looking dark wood pieces including in some cases four poster beds. All suites look crisp, clean and bright, with pale wood floors, white walls and floor to ceiling windows. All also have either terraces or balconies and some come with excellent sea views. Check out all your room options at Expedia here. Standard facilities include free daily restocked minibars with dispensers, air con, coffeemakers, study desks, electronic safes, luxury toiletries, balconies or terraces and 24 hour room service. Prices: Check out all the price details at Booking.com here and at Expedia.com here. Food, Facilities & Things to Do: The main restaurant at Riu Palace is Atlantic which serves buffet food all day. The buffet choices can vary slightly but there is always a wide variety of both international and local favorites, and the quality as far as we could see is very good. Every couple of nights, to add some extra flavor, they have themed food events and there is a traditional jerk chicken stand just outside open throughout the day. Beyond that there are four la carte restaurants: the Tengoku for Japanese, the Sir Alexander for French fine dining, Krystal Fusion for a variety of contemporary cuisine, and the Bahamas Grill and Steakhouse. All have high standards of food and service and have an a smart casual dress code, though no reservations are required. Don’t be surprised to have to endure a short wait for a table at peak dinner times though. Though it’s a fairly boozy resort there are no dedicated pubs. The main nightlife action is centered around the pool bars which go on late and can get READ MORE -

Isla Mujeres
Cancun
Riviera Maya

MexicoPrivilege 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 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 of the best adults only all inclusives in Cancun. Accommodation: They have 124 contemporary rooms and suites at Privilege Aluxes, from entry level double rooms to premium suites with jacuzzis on the terrace and ocean views. Standard features include king size beds, minibars well stocked with complimentary liquor, 40 inch smart TVs, blackout curtains, AC, 24 hour room service, coffee & tea makers, bathtubs and luxury bathroom niceties like bath salts and vanity kits. Prices: Check out all the price details at Booking.com here and at Expedia.com here. Food, Facilities & Things to Do: You have a choice of three food places at Privilege Aluxes: Sabor, their main international buffet restaurant (which also does a la carte lunches), the Beach Club restaurant, a pool snack bar and then the Satay restaurant for Thai & Oriental cuisine, the latter requesting reservations. The food is good overall though some guests have been disappointed by the buffet. Their a la carte is almost always highly rated though. There are different themed dinner buffets each night at Sabor and, every few days, Mexican barbecue nights down on the beach. All food is included in the all inclusive except for the odd premium item, such as lobster, which will be listed on the menu as such. All drink, except some premium wines, is also all inclusive. The two main drinking spots are the pool swim up bar, which is open until 8pm, and the Beach Club, open until 11. Privilege Aluxes is not a place for nightlife but guests often start their evening here then take the very short walk to Isla Mujers’ bar district for a lively READ MORE -

Nassau
New Providence
BahamasSandals 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 large pools, a private offshore island with two very beautiful stretches of golden sand and the usual Sandals’ generous selection of free activities and events on land and water. Accommodation: Rooms are divided into three price levels with the private butler suites being the most expensive. In many Sandals’ resorts the entry levels can offer good value in comparison to other rooms, at Sandals Royal Bahamian less so we feel. They are smaller and set farthest away from the beach in a low rise building by the tennis courts. Some of these rooms also don’t allow in-room dining via room service, something generally seen as standard at all Sandals resorts. Still though you can’t fault the decor and design. They all smartly furnished and very comfortable, with solid mahogany four-poster beds, nice sitting areas and elegant bathrooms with bathtubs and fancy Red Lane toiletries. Moving up a notch you have the Club Level Rooms. Guests here have private, preferential check-in, a dedicated concierge service (useful for arranging excursions and activities, and for reservations at some of the restaurants), free airport transfers and access to the Club Lounge facilities. They are also generally more spacious and in a more appealing location – near the beach, facing out towards the sea. More spacious again are the Butler Suites, the highest room class at Sandals Royal Bahamian. They can range from swim up suites to entire villas with private pools and outdoor soak tubs. They have all the perks of the Club Level too but with little extras such as the airport transport being in a luxury vehicle (Mercedes or Rolls Royce) and on top of READ MORE -

Cancun
Riviera Maya

MexicoIt’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. Accommodation: 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 proper furnished balconies though, most are just small Juliet-style, which is definitely a negative, though in fairness probably the only one. The one bedroom units will either have a king bed or two double beds to sleep up to four. Then there are larger two room units with two king beds. The largest and most opulent at Le Blanc is the Two Bedroom Presidential Suite, a gorgeous, and enormous space with a whirlpool on its large balcony amongst other impressive features. Standard features of all the rooms include satellite TVs with Netflix, iTunes, Apple TV etc. generously stocked minibars, premium liquor dispensers (Johnnie Walker Black, Absolut Vodka, Bacardi etc.), wine, Lavazza coffee-makers, aromatherapy & pillow menus, and 24 hour room service. Their opulent marble bathrooms are as nice as you might expect and come with TVs, showers, bathtubs, Bulgari toiletries and your personal butler can prepare a bath for you with customized bath salts and rose petals. Some suites have whirlpool baths too, either in the bathroom or in the main room by the window. Prices: Check out all the price details at Booking.com here and at Expedia.com here. Food, Facilities & Things to Do: The food and drink at Le Blanc Resort Cancun win consistently great reviews, quite a feat for an all inclusive, and all fine dining and premium drinks are included in the all inclusive package. Blanc is the main buffet venue and has tremendous spreads during the day. It also serves Mexican and steakhouse a la carte in the evenings Some excellent Italian and Asian a la carte cuisine is also available in two other chic venues, and all READ MORE -

Ocho Rios
St. Ann Parish
JamaicaSandals Royal Plantation, Jamaica is a very elegant, colonial era estate near Ocho Rios’ resort zone, that is now a Sandals adults only, 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’s 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 it being much smaller it doesn’t have the same breath of choice in restaurants and bars of course but guests at Royal Plantation are granted access to all the facilities at the much larger Sandals Ochi next door. The private beach here is absolutely gorgeous, and though small it never feels crowded due to the size of the resort. Accommodation: The suites at Sandals Plantation look and feel as elegant and as stately as the property in general. All have four-poster king-size beds, comfy seating areas, grand looking wood furniture pieces and spacious bathrooms with double sinks and bathtubs or jacuzzis. They also all have ocean views and come with either a terrace, balcony or Juliet balcony. There isn’t a huge divide between entry level suites and the rest at Royal Plantation though the top choice, the Governor General Oceanfront is a stunning space with the best views in the place. They have a private villa here too that’s definitely worth a look if you’re traveling with a small group or you and your partner just want to hit the highest level of VIP. Villa Plantana sits by itself over the calmer East Beach. It has three bedrooms in total, lots of space inside and out, its own pool and a team of private staff. Prices: Check out all price details at the Sandals website here or at Expedia here. Food, Facilities & Things to Do: Sandals Royal Plantation has five eateries, and guests here have also full access to sixteen further restaurants at the much larger Sandals Ochi next door.

Paradise Island
Nassau
New Providence
BahamasIn 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, 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 in its own way be lively and fun. Accommodation: There aren’t a lot of room categories at Warwick so choosing is a relatively easy task. The standard rooms are double or twin, around 300 sq. ft., and have a view of either Nassau Harbour, the land (of the island) or the sea. The Water View and Island View Rooms lack balconies for some reason though they do have floor to ceiling windows and the views can be very good. Harbour View Rooms all have private furnished balconies and feel like something a step above generally though they are only marginally larger. Their One Bedroom Harbourfront Suites are larger though and have second balconies along with a lounge room and separate bedroom. The max occupancy there in two on one king size bed. Their Double Double rooms on the other hand, though smaller, have, as the name suggests two double beds to sleep up to four. Check out all your room options at Expedia here. The large windows allow lots of natural light and there is also nice light touch to the decor across the board with cheerful art pieces and colorful soft furnishings. The bathrooms are sleek and modern though perhaps relatively small and come with combined shower and bath. Their One Bedroom Harbourfront Suites though, being top of the range have larger bathrooms which come with separate showers and bathtubs. In room facilities include mini bars, coffee makers, digital safes, air-con, study desks, cable TVs and 24 hour room service.

Ocho Rios
St. Ann Parish
JamaicaThe wonderful Couples Sans Souci is a five star adults only all-inclusive resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Though the resort is large it has only 150 suites so never feels crowded, and the atmosphere is warm and personable. What we particularly like about Couples San Souci is the idyllic natural setting – much of the grounds are left almost entirely to nature with narrow walkways and footbridges through thick jungle. Mountain bikes are provided by the resort. There you can spot all sorts of tropical flora and fauna and the resort has two private beaches (one of which is nude), a freshwater lake, a waterfall and a natural mineral grotto and mineral spring pool. At Couples Sans Souci you’ll also find three swimming pools, three jacuzzis, fitness, sports and spa facilities, seven bars and five restaurants. Accommodation: The suites at Couples Sans Souci are generally spacious and well furnished but here more than in most resorts there is value to be had in spending a little extra. The price difference between the Garden Suites and higher level suites isn’t too much but you’ll appreciate the extra space, facilities such as jacuzzis, and better views though there are no full ocean views as the jungle trees partially block it. Check out all your options here at Expedia.com. Note: there is a three night minimum stay. All suites have nice balconies though and other facilities include satellite TV, daily restocked minibars, king size beds, coffeemakers, air-con and luxury bath products. Prices: Enter dates and compare prices at Booking.com here and at Expedia.com here. Food, Facilities & Things to Do: Couples Sans Souci has five dining venues: The casual Sunset Beach does buffet lunches and international standards – burgers, fries, nachos, sandwiches, salads etc. Palazzina is a slightly more formal bistro open for breakfast lunch and dinner both buffet style and a la carte. Ristorante Casanova is a, more formal again, fine dining venue open for dinner only. Both serve something of a fusion – Italian standards but with much Caribbean influence. Bella Vista is an open air beachfront grill, open for lunch, dinner and late night snacks until 6am. The food is READ MORE -

Dover Beach

BarbadosSandals Barbados is an adults only, 5 star luxury all inclusive resort on Dover Beach, a short drive from the island’s international airport and many other local attractions. Sandals is very much considered one of the most luxurious resorts in Barbados, and includes 13 restaurants and 7 bars that span a wide range of global cuisine. Accommodation: The resort has 280 rooms that come in 14 different styles and layouts, and three different service levels. The most basic unit is a Deluxe Suite with Garden Views. If you want something a bit different, try booking the ground floor of Crystal Lagoon and you will be able to swim right from your patio door. If you are looking for a truly luxurious experience though, consider the Ocean Side Villas that come with around-the-clock butler service, your own bar and outdoor tub. The rooms and suites are all broadly similar in style. Expect turquoise and white color patterns with classy mahogany furniture and finishings, and 4-poster, king sized beds in many. Built in 2015, the resort also has all the best modern conveniences and amenities. Top Rooms & Suites: It’s not hard to identify the cream of the crop at Sandals: the Beachfront Penthouse One Bedroom Butler Suite is the ultimate in luxury, but be warned – it gets booked up well in advance.. There are plenty of other options though, from standard Deluxe Suites to Honeymoon Suites and other oceanfront options. To the average vacationer some may seem only a little less extravagant than the Penthouse Butler Suite, but at a less premium price. Bathrooms feature a double basin vanity, dual control walk in shower and separate bath tub. Luxury suites include other luxury upgrades like a Kohler claw foot bath tub. Prices: Check out all price details at the Sandals website here, at Booking.com here and at Expedia here.

MexicoRoyal 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, 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 are mainly looking to relax and the atmosphere is laid back friendly.

All are elegant, beautifully furnished and with luxury hotel amenities like cable TV, free minibars, safes, coffeemakers, music stations, air-con.

It’s a 5 Star hotel with a fairly sophisticated clientele so expectations may be high from the start but few people come away disappointed. There are no buffets here, all is a la carte. The one drawback to this here it seems is that the restaurants are busy and reservations are required for all except one, though you have 24 hour room service and the bars serve food too. Most have quite formal dining areas and three have formal dress codes – Las Ventanas, Azia and Palazzo. Las Ventanas is open for dinner only and has a chef’s table where guests have front row seats at the cooking station and can chat with the chef. There is an extra charge for this and it will need to be booked in advance. Palazzo is another stylish venue serving Italian, again for dinner only. The award winning Azia does Asian fusion – Thai and Japanese mainly. Spices does some great Mexican and in a lovely READ MORE -

Maho Beach Resort
Maho Village
Sint Maarten
Saint MartinUpdated on October 4, 2022. 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 just meters above visitor’s heads: a classic photo opportunity. Accommodation: They have 129 spacious suites at Sonesta Ocean Point Resort. All of them firmly in the luxury category. Your most basic option here is a 460 square feet Junior Suite with king size bed, separate seating area and furnished balcony or patio. The ground floor Junior Suites are swim up while the upper floors have sea views. The accommodation then goes up in size, and price, until the cream of the crop: the Rooftop Butler Suites. They cover 785 sq. ft. and come with a large sofa and good sized terrace outside with the best views of all. The bathrooms come with a soaking tub and twin vanities. Facilities across all the accommodation include mini bars with premium drinks including full bottles of liquor like Ballantine’s scotch and Beefeater gin, espresso machines, satellite TVs, blackout curtains, Molton Brown toiletries and very comfortable, 400 thread cotton bedding. Prices: Check out all the details and compare prices at Booking.com here and at Expedia.com here. Food, Facilities & Things to Do: Sonesta Ocean Point is the quieter, more upscale partner of Sonesta Maho Beach with the latter having a huge array of facilities which Ocean Point guests can access freely. There you have five restaurants, a number of bars and pubs, one of Sint Maarten’s most well known nightclubs Tantra, a shopping mall, a casino, a fitness center and spa facilities. Ocean Point is far more low key but it does have facilities of its own, and the food for one thing is generally better here than at Maho Beach. READ MORE -
