One price, lots of fun

by Tarah Chieffi, Senior writer

Until a few years ago, I had never visited an all-inclusive resort. It wasn’t until TPG sent me on assignment (with my family in tow) to review two all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica that I realized what I’d been missing.

As soon as we checked in, I knew the all-inclusive life was for me.

I didn’t pull out my wallet for every meal, and there was no need to budget for activities during our vacation because it’s all included in the nightly rate. I felt like I could truly relax and enjoy time with my kids (and they could enjoy multiple ice cream cones every day).

What’s even better is that more and more major hotel brands are getting into the all-inclusive game. There are several Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, Wyndham and IHG all-inclusive resorts that you can book using points (or earn points on cash stays).

Of course, there are many kinds of all-inclusive resorts. Some don’t even allow kids (which is great if you are searching for a romantic getaway), but even among those that do, some are better than others.

TPG has a detailed guide to help you choose the best all-inclusive resort for your family, and I’ve personally stayed at a few on the list that I would return to in a heartbeat, including:

🌊 This Montego Bay all-inclusive resort, which has the largest water park in the country!

🐟 This beachfront Turks and Caicos resort, which had some of the best snorkel spots I’ve ever visited (I saw my first sea turtle here).

🌴 And this all-inclusive resort in Costa Rica, home to monkeys, iguanas and one of the largest pools in Central America.

Each of these — along with the others in our guide — has family-friendly accommodations, fun daily activities and a variety of foods that adults and picky kids will find equally pleasing.
