9 Best All-inclusive Resorts for Families in the Caribbean

"A sprawling family-oriented property offering an enormous 45,000-square-foot water park, 18 restaurants, 10 pools, and miles of sugar-sand beaches, with complimentary kids programming for ages 0–17 broken into dedicated groups (Infant Program 0–2, Toddler Program 3–4, Navigators 5–7, Adventurers 8–10, Tweens 11–14, Teens 15–17). Little ones can meet and do activities with Sesame Street characters (baking with Cookie Monster, puppet-making with Bert and Ernie), and the resort is a Certified Autism Center with specially trained staff. The 758-room property is divided into five villages to make the scale feel less overwhelming; ultra-luxe three- and four-bedroom villas include private butler service and a personal cell phone for villa guests to request services such as restaurant reservations or breakfast on the porch. Dining variety is vast (reservation recommended for popular spots like a teppanyaki venue, a beachfront seafood restaurant, and a Mediterranean option), and Anna Popp, an associate editor at T+L, noted: "I was genuinely floored by how many places there are to eat — the food options can satisfy picky eaters and those looking for fine-dining options." Inclusions are extensive (unlimited dining/drinking, gratuities, land sports, non-motorized water sports, scuba diving, and water park access)." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.
