The 16 Best All Inclusive Hotels in the Caribbean

Galley Bay

If you can’t think of anything more relaxing than reclining on your hotel lounger on an idyllic Caribbean beach, then how about adding to that daydream a friendly staff member bringing you a tropically glorious looking drink on a tray, which you needn’t bother about paying for? That’s the all inclusive Caribbean holiday dream, complete with bounties of prawns, champagne, spa treatments, and in some cases even sessions with a personal trainer. Whether you dream of great value, or unadulterated pre-paid luxury, our Hotel Gurus can match your needs to the best all inclusive hotel in the Caribbean for you, from the best all inclusive family hotels in the Caribbean to the best five star all inclusive hotels in the Caribbean. Use our guide and start planning your Caribbean dream!

For a five star stay

Jumby Bay

  • Jumby Bay Island is a 300 acre private island off the north coast of Antigua, and offers luxury and exclusivity to those who stay in its 40 luxurious villas and suites. Everything here is faultless, from the Antiguan cuisine to the beaches, the farm and the kids club.

For a Beach Resorts

Galley Bay

  • If you dream of thatched roofs and huts on stilts, Galley Bay will play into your island fantasies with its row of cabins and suites in a spectacular setting: beach on one side and a lagoon on the other. This adults only resort has tropical grounds big enough to lose yourself in, and a beach large enough to avoid people on. But at night the atmosphere becomes more lively, as the evening’s entertainment warms up.

For Caribbean Luxury

Hermitage Bay

  • Hermitage Bay on Antigua is one of the most beautiful all inclusive resorts in the Caribbean. There are only 30 suites — all of them huge — which are individually designed and dotted along the beachfront and up the hill into the lush tropical gardens, but the facilities and staff on offer for such a limited number of guests is seriously generous, offering unadulterated luxury at its finest.

For Families

Curtain Bluff

  • Curtain Bluff on Antigua's south coast offers a secluded escape for both families and couples. Gorgeously positioned on a bluff between two beaches — one facing the gentle Caribbean, the other facing the more dramatic Atlantic — this collection of 70 spacious rooms and suites with their incredible private terraces, are havens where nothing is too much trouble and it’s all included in the room rate. And there are activities galore for all ages from tennis camps to waterskiing and a fun kids club.
  • Turtle Beach on Barbados is your classically elegant Caribbean beach front resort, perfect for families, couples, or anyone who wants to escape and relax in beautiful surrounds. With 160 odd spacious rooms and suites with a gently nautical feel, three outdoor pools, a kids club and plenty of facilities laid on, this is the sort of resort that has been bringing people to the Caribbean for decades.
  • The Verandah Resort & Spa on Antigua is perfect for families, and anyone who loves watersports, because the facilities at this beach front resort are top notch. There are 200 rooms, suites and villas, surrounded by verdant tropical gardens, and there’s a feeling of space both inside and out. The choice of restaurants offer a friendly, Caribbean menu.

For All Inclusive Boutique Style

Hammock Cove

  • Hammock Cove is an idyllically located village of 42 villas, overlooking the Devil’s Bridge National Park on Antigua’s north eastern coast. With private terraces, infinity-edged plunge pools and chic hardwood heavy interiors, these villas feel exclusive as well as being beautiful, and the private beach and limited numbers lend peace.

Best All Inclusive Escapes

East Winds

  • St. Lucia’s East Winds Inn is a collection of just 30 elegant cottage suites, scattered along 14 acres of lush, beachfront garden. This is the sort of place you can really escape to, where yoga and pilates classes, and sailing lessons complement great food and drinks, and all done with friendly, laid back flair.
  • Small Hope Bay’s 21 colourful, ocean front cottages sit behind two private beaches, and a little jetty, which is where the diving and fishing beats leave from. The kayaks leave from the white, sandy beaches, and you’ll find the library, games rooms and restaurant and lounge bar in amongst the lush gardens. Situated on Andros, one of the Bahamas' least developped islands.
  • The BodyHoliday in St Lucia is designed to get you feeling your best, and the all inclusive rate includes things like spa treatments, sessions with a personal trainer, and classes in tai chi, archery and golf. As well as the more usual watersports and yoga. But if you need to relax that’s definitely catered for too, in surrounds with enough buzz to feel carefree, but plenty of spots to hideaway and nap in too.
  • Belle Mont Farm is a stunning eco-resort and guesthouse, which is part of a working organic farm on St Kitts. The collection of accommodation includes rooms, farmhouses and private villas, all of which seem to have stunning views; and there’s a huge infinity pool, so you’re not missing out on a feeling of Caribbean luxury! They also offer open air spa treatments amongst the mango trees.

For a Romantic Holiday

Keyonna Beach Resort

  • Keyonna Beach Resort is a collection of just 20 beach cabins idyllically positioned on Antigua’s Turner’s Beach. This is an adults only resort, where peace reigns, from the private pools, and breezy terraces, to the outdoor showers and tropical surrounds. There’s a spa to relax in, but you could just as easily relax by the pool or the beach.
  • Sunset at the Palms is an adults only ‘treehouse’ hotel set in glorious tropical grounds just back from the beach at Paynes Town, Jamaica. The bamboo heavy decor really adds to the treehouse ambience, but doesn’t interfere with the luxury — the bathrooms are large and beautiful. Three restaurants and bars, plus impressive facilities mean you don’t really need to leave.

For All Inclusive Resort Living

Sweptaway

  • Sweptaway is the perfect adults only beachfront escape for people who love trying out all the facilities a resort has to offer. Here there are tennis courts and squash courts, a gym, snorkelling, windsurfing, jet skiing, yoga, pilates, an award-winning spa, three pools, six restaurants and plenty of places to grab a drink. All in a stylish, contemporary setting.
  • Zoetry Agua Punta Cana will do everything in its power to get you relaxed and recharged. They’ve pampering and beach bathing on tap, and a top of the range spa. There are just shy of a hundred rooms and suites, decorated in relaxing neutrals, and featuring the height of modern conveniences, plus plenty of pools, bars and restaurants to choose from, along an idyllic palm-fringed beach.
  • Crystal Cove is a lively beach front hotel in Bridgetown, Barbados, offering buzzy evening’s entertainment as well as busy days of activity — should you want either. Very family friendly with a choice of restaurants and lots of activities onsite, you can also avoid kids entirely in the spa, by the waterfall bar, or hauled up in a hammock on the beach.
