All inclusive hotels in Antigua I can recommend.
Hidden Gem! If you like small resorts, this is the one for you. This is truly a gem. It sits atop of a bluff with a bay to one side and a spectacular view of the ocean. Staff are friendly and helpful and attend to all your needs. Included in you stay are all the hotel activities such as wind surfing, snorkeling, and water skiing as well as tennis, pickle ball, bocce and so much more. You can choose to sit relax and read a book or join in on the many activities going on in the resort. The property and food and services will not disappoint! I stayed with the hubby here for a few nights and wish we could have stayed a week…. loved the snorkling and water skiing.
CURTAIN BLUFF - Updated 2026 Prices & Resort Reviews ...
2 couples, 1 week, and the best vacation, hands down. The food was delicious, the beach breathtaking and service was great! I would go back for another week in a heart beat. During this stay, we rented a car and drove out to get a feel for this beautiful island. Driving is a bit confusing at first since they drive on the left side, but after a while it becomes second nature. I would recommend getting out of the resort and checking out the local restaurants and checking out other beaches. What an experience! Cant wait to go back!

Riu hotels never disappoint. Food, accommodations, service and the beach are all great! This is a beautiful property on one of my favorite islands. I love Palm beach with its close proximity to bars, restaurants and shops. Highly recommend this hotel...
Hotel Riu Palace Aruba - UPDATED 2026 Prices, Reviews & Photos
The Barcelo is situated on this gorgeous stretch of Palm beach, with its clear blue, calm waters and white sand. It is ideal for families with small children. Although the hotel is a bit dated, it is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. Its location also makes it easy to go out a night.

Bahamas resorts you will enjoy. I know I did!
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The Riu is a great hotel chain and staying at the Palace is a step up! This property is right on the beach, next to Atlantis, so if you are bored or want to go shopping, the Atlantis is the place to go (bought a beautiful ring there during my stay). The rooms are traditional, but are well maintained and clean. The food was delicious. With a large variety of ox tail, jerk chicken and lots of seafood. The staff are welcoming and helpful. Only suggestion is to book your a la carte restaurants as soon as you arrive. You don't want to miss those!
Hotel Riu Palace Paradise Island - Adults Only - All Inclusive
You can never go wrong when you book Sandals. We always enjoy our stays at Sandals resorts. They are well maintained, the service is always great, and there are always lots of activities to keep you occupied during your stay, but if you're like me, the sun and the beach (besides the delicious food) is what I go for. This property, the staff, food and entertainment will not disappoint!
Sandals Royal Bahamian - ALL INCLUSIVE Couples Only
Exploring Curacao
Even though this is not a 5 star hotel, the location is perfect! The beach is spectacular and our over all stay was very enjoyable.The Sunscape offers good food, clean accommodations, and friendly staff. It's a budget friendly hotel that will meet all your needs and leave some extra cash for some outing on the island. We rented a car and spent a day roaming the island and checking out all the different bays with their turquoise water and spectacular vistas. Did some snorkeling, stopped for lunch at a homestead and retuned at sunset with our hearts filled. We made new friends and loved every moment. If you haven't visited, this is one of those islands you MUST add to your bucket list!

We had a family vacation at this resort and everyone had a great time. Food was delicious, grounds are absolutely beautiful and the beach is spectacular. We had a family wedding here and all we have area accolades. Everything went off without a hitch. The ceremony and reception were wonderful. We made some great memories at thsi resort.
Bahia Principe Grand: All Inclusive Hotels
Another family vacation. We stayed for New Years. Everyone had a wonderful time. Lots to do, the entertainment staff were wonderful. Lots of activities for kids and adults alike. Food was delicious and lots of options on the buffet and restaurants. New Years even buffet was extra special. I would recommend staying here over the holidays.

This property is an absolute delight, worth every penny. Grounds are beautifully kept, staff, food and accommodations are definitely 5 star. We went with another couple and had an amazing time. Did not stay in the bungalows, but that's on my agenda for a future trip!

GEM!! Sandos Hotel in Cancun was a great experience. We stayed with 3 other couples and had an absolutely amazing time! The a la carte restaurants food and service were above expectation for a Caribbean all inclusive resort. Staff are friendly and helpful. Lots of activities and staff are amazing at bringing you in to join the fun. I will go back to Sandos in a heart beat! LOVE! LOVE! This hotel
Sandos Cancún All Inclusive - Adults Only
Absolutely fabulous experience at this beautiful property. We stayed with another couple and had a wonderful time. So many restaurants to eat at. They even have a coffee shop, burger place, tacos, and crepes and ice cream shop. The food was delicious, the hotel has beautiful rooms with a siting area and with ocean view. Top notch resort! Great value for the money.
Catalonia Grand Costa Mujeres All Suites & Spa
Although this hotel sits on a small man made beach, the experience was amazing. We stayed as a family for 1 week and had a great experience. We spent a day at X-Caret park, did some scuba diving and snorkeling and enjoyed feeding the fish off the pier. Great memories were made at this property. Family friendly hotel!
Occidental at Xcaret Destination
We stayed at this hotel last year and had a beautiful vacation. The rooms are beautiful, recently renovated. They have a large a siting area, with a beautiful balcony to sit and sip a drink in the evening. Many restaurants to have meal during the day and a variety of a la carte which have to be booked as soon as you arrive to ensure you get seating. Although the property is very large, it is very well maintained and it makes for a great walk down to the beach. You can visit with a monkeys on the property on your way to and from the beach each day. Love the large courtyard with water feature where the shows and dance nights are held. I will definitely go back.
Grand Sunset Princess - All Inclusive
We have done the Xplore Park 3 times. Once with the kids and twice on our own with other couples. Every time we go, we have a wonderful time. It's an exhausting day, but well worth it. The buffet lunch at the park never disappoints with lots of fresh salads, fruits, and a large buffet. Burgers and other grilled meats. Lots to choose from. In order to get through all the zip lines, the underground rivers and the buggy ride, you have to keep moving. Its loads of FUN!!

This beautiful property located on Grace Bay, is an absolute dream. It offers breakfast only, but they have restaurants on the premise that have delicious fare at a reasonable price. We dinned at various restaurants in the area, and by far the food at the hotel was the best we had. Our favorite being the restaurant by the beach. It's so pretty in the evening with all the mood lighting and the food and drinks are top notch. This is a very large property but it never really felt crowded. There is the option of eating in since the rooms have a sitting area and a kitchen. This is really great for families with small children, but when I go on vacation, I prefer to eat out.

Luscious St. Lucia
We stayed as a family at the Windjammer in St. Lucia. We had a fun vacation. Staff are really welcoming and tend to all your needs. The property is absolutely breathtaking. We spoke to the staff and they hooked us up with a local for a family tour of the island. We had an amazing day. Stopped at the pitons, hiked out to the water and did some snorkeling. Went to the mud baths, stopped at a local bar for drinks and stopped at some look outs. I am not much for returning to the same hotel twice, but I am hoping to be able to go back to this property again soon. Location! Location!
