All-Inclusive Resorts Advice Needed

Which all-inclusives have you been to. I've been to Sandals Grade St. Lucian and loved it. I want to plan another vacation soon and am looking for recommendations on places to go.

Re: All-Inclusive Resorts Advice Needed

Been to (on vacations not honeymoon)
Adventura Spa Palace - Mayan Riveria, Mexico
Paradisus Playa Conchal - Costa Rica
Iberostar Bavarro - Punta Cana, DR
Iberostar Costa Dorada - Puerta Pata DR
Club Med Turks and Caicos - does that count (drinks aren't included when I went)?

Pretty much in the order of preference. I would rate the the Paradisus and Bavarro in line with each other.

Royal Hideaway in the Riviera Maya, Mexico! It was unbelievable!! Royal Hideaway

The food, service, room, beach...its all incredible. And we were skeptical about the all inclusive idea. My husband was afraid the food would not be great and the portions would be small. Not the case at all. There are 7 sit down restaurants - all wonderful!

Re: All-Inclusive Resorts Advice Needed

I'm a travel agent so I get to go visit hotels for work...its not all fun....When I went to Aruba for work I had to visit 12 hotels in 4 days and had very little free time but I am not complaining...I get to go to some beautiful places.

I heard great things about this Iberostar as well as the one in Cozumel as well. Iberostar is a nice chain for all-inclusives in my experience...

Neicey - Mayan Riveria, Mexico- Looks amazing!!!
We were looking b/t The Mayan or Tulum.. I think we're going to Mayan for our vacation this year.

We've stayed at:
The Oasis- Cancun
The Marriott- Aruba (HM)

as far as all-inclusive places go. I didn't LOVE the Oasis' grounds... the Grand Oasis looked nicer.

2003fallwedding- so jealous! I'd LOVE your job!!!!
