Romantic All-Inclusive Resorts for Couples and Honeymooners

True to our name, we at Enchanted Honeymoons Travel take pride in our expertise in planning honeymoons and romantic getaways. We want you to enjoy every second you spend with your honey in tropical paradise. With hundreds of resorts catering to couples and honeymooner, how do you choose the right one? Below we’ve highlighted ten of our favorite all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean for couples. We trust these resorts to deliver on romance, luxury, and service, so you don’t have to worry about a thing!

 

 

 

1. Jade Mountain Resort, St. Lucia

Our number one spot for romantic all-inclusives belongs to Jade Mountain Resort. This breathtaking property consists of 24 suites in a private section inside the Anse Chastanet Resort. Every suite features a unique feature: one “wall” is completely open to the mountains. Nothing separates you from the outside world, but even so you will be pleasantly surprised to find that your room still feels private and romantic.  In addition, the open wall allows unobstructed views of the Pitons, which are the two mountains (otherwise known as volcanic plugs) pictured above. What is not included in your room? A television or telephone. Pure relaxation awaits!

 

 

2. Royal Hideaway Playacar, Playa del Carmen

The name of this resort could not be more accurate! If you are looking to truly “hide away” with your S.O., look no further than the Royal Hideaway Playacar. This ultra-private escape has only 11 villas and a maximum occupancy of 200 guests. You will feel like you are staying in your own fully-staffed vacation home rather than an all-inclusive resort. Each of the 11 rooms comes with a private concierge to ensure that all of your needs are met.

 

 

3. Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita, Riviera Maya

This romantic property truly delivers the zen-factor. The decor throughout this 90-suite boutique resort blends Mayan tradition with modern luxury. We love this resort because of its impressive perks. Enjoy a bottle of champagne delivered to your suite daily, private round-trip airport transfers, and a 1-hour sunset catamaran cruise that takes off right from your resort beach!

 

 

4. Palafitos at El Dorado Maroma, Playa del Carmen

The Palafitos (or overwater bungalows), extensions of the El Dorado Maroma Resort, were completed in Fall 2016. These are the only overwater bungalows you will find in Mexico! The 30 new palafitos boast glass bottom floors, private plunge pools, a personal sundeck, and an outdoor shower. In addition, guests staying at the palafitos have exclusive access to an overwater restaurant and an overwater spa, as well as a private beach area. Of course, each palafito also comes with your own personal butler!

 

5. Le Blanc Spa Resort, Cancun

We would describe Le Blanc as sexy, modern, tropical, and romantic. French-inspired details, such as Juliette balconies, are a perfect balance to the modern decor. You won’t soon forget the stunning infinity pool, which is even more breathtaking set against the clean white structure of the property itself. The luxurious spa-vibe throughout the resort has even drawn celebrity guests (such as Julia Roberts)! During your stay, enjoy 24-hour butler service and don’t leave without getting a treatment or two at the BlancSpa. The 7-course meal at french-fusion eatery, Lumiere, is another thing that cannot be missed!

 

 

6. Sandals Grande Antigua

We love sending our honeymoon clients to Sandals Resorts because of their emphasis on couples and romance. Sandals Grande Antigua was recognized as the #1 Caribbeans Honeymoon Resort by the World Travel Awards  in five out of the last eight years, and the Caribbean’s #1 Romantic Resort for the past two years. In addition to incredible service and luxurious accommodations, this property sits on Dickinson Bay, which is one of the largest and most beautiful beaches in Antigua. This resort has two distinct sides. The Caribbean Grove, which is nestled into the palm-filled gardens down by the beach, and the Mediterranean Village, which is built into the cliffs towering above the sea.

 

7. Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort, Cabo San Lucas

Pueblo Bonit0 Pacifica is the romantic escape in Cabo. The Mediterranean-inspired property stuns its guests with the Sea of Cortez as the backdrop. You’ll fall in love with the casually elegant vibe at this resort. Pueblo Bonito is a great choice for couples that enjoy an active and healthy lifestyle. Our perfect day at Pueblo Bonit0 Pacifica would begin with a sunrise stroll along the 2.5 mile stretch of private beach attached to the resort. The 154-suite resort is expanding and will open 54 additional suites in Fall 2017.  Furthermore, six of these new suites will have their own private plunge pool with an ocean view.

 

 

8. Secrets Maroma, Playa del Carmen

Located on the incredible Maroma Beach, Secrets Maroma is home to 400 suites. Every single one of these suites includes a private plunge pool. In addition, guests can take advantage of 6 huge pools, and a wide variety of activities (think dance lessons and windsurfing). In order to wind down, consider booking an appointment for a couples massage. The 13,000 square-foot Secrets Spa by Pevonia is the ideal spot for ultimate relaxation with the one you love.

 

 

9. Excellence Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Excellence Punta Cana has 464 suites yet feels peaceful and boutique-y due to its expansive property size. Even in peak season, you will not feel crowded by other guests at this resort. For added privacy and luxury, ask your travel agent for details on the Excellence Club level rooms. Club benefits include express check-in and check-out service, a private VIP lounge with snacks and bar service, and private beach area. This is a must for honeymooners!

 

 

10. Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico

Finally, we have Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit. With a sexy name like “Grand Velas”, it’s no surprise that this resort caters to the romantic. Grand Velas boasts three fine-dining options, unbeatable service, and a stunning, tiered pool with a view of Banderas Bay. In addition, Grand Velas offers unique spa treatments at the Balinese-inspired Grand Velas spa. Most noteworthy, the Pearl and Moon treatment in which therapists use real crushed pearls to leave you with a radiant shimmer. For golfers, ask your travel agent about the Unlimited Golf Package in order to get access to two 18-hole courses at nearby Vista Vallarta Golf Club.

 

 

 

With so many options for all-inclusive resorts, choosing the one that is right for you can be difficult. Our experts at Enchanted Honeymoons Travel specialize in a variety of destinations, but we are most knowledgeable when it comes to all-inclusive resorts throughout the world. We rely on first-hand experience and site visits, as well as our valued client reviews. The right all-inclusive resort for you is out there, and we can help you find it! Check out a few of our tips for doing so below.

 

1. Call a Travel Agent

 

Travel agents are extremely well-versed in all-inclusive resorts. Translating the list of room categories often available at large all-inclusive resorts can be difficult and confusing. Working with a large agency makes a difference too, since they are more likely to have an agent that has visited one or more of the resorts you are interested in. Travel agents often take extensive tours of hotels while they are in destination, so they will be able to give you honest feedback on the rooms, beach, and restaurants. In addition, booking your all-inclusive resort with a travel agent could earn you extra perks such as upgrades, excursions, and discounts!

 

2. Consider Adults-Only vs. Family-Friendly

All-inclusive resorts are typically split between adults-only and family-friendly options. Many kid-friendly resorts are sophisticated and cater to mostly adults, while others are geared more toward young families. If you’re looking for romance or peace and quiet, consider booking an adults-only property. Some resorts are family-friendly but also offer an adults-only section of the property, such as the Royalton Riviera Cancun. At the Royalton, those who book the adults-only Hideaway section can enjoy a private beach area, bar, and a private pool (along with other exclusive amenities).

3. Compare Included Amenities

All-inclusive resorts do not all offer the exact same package. In most cases, food and drinks are always included. It’s the little details that change from resort to resort. Some resorts may offer resort credits depending on your length of stay. Resort credits can be used for services or activities on the property, such as spa services, non-motorized water sports, or special excursions. Other resorts include non-motorized water sports in their all-inclusive package. Another thing to consider when looking at the fine print of each resort is their rating. Don’t book a 3-star all-inclusive resort if you will complain about the quality of the tequila, or that there is no filet mignon at dinner. Be realistic with your expectations to book a vacation that will meet them.

4. Check Out the Location

If you want to head into town for shopping or nightlife, make sure you choose a hotel that is near an area that offers these things. Your travel agent can help you to narrow down which destinations are best for your needs (i.e. Cancun or Cabo San Lucas for nightlife).

 

5. Determine the Size of Resort Best for You

All-inclusive resorts range from quaint to enormous. Both small and large resorts have their advantages and disadvantages, but it depends mostly on your preferences. If you want nine restaurants, several bars and pools, and a chance to meet new friends, a larger resort will best meet your expectations. If you would rather enjoy your time relaxing in a quiet atmostphere, there are plenty of boutique options for that as well. Ask your travel agent how many rooms are at the resort as well as the size of the property it sits on to give you a better idea.

 

6. Compare Beaches

If you are not a beach person, you may be more interested in the pool set up at your resort. On the other hand, a tropical vacation may not be complete to you without a picturesque beach landscape. If a stunning stretch of beach is your top priority, consider all-inclusive resort options in Cancun or the Dominican Republic. You can also check for recent pictures of the resort’s beach on their Facebook page.

 

7. Look Into the Resort’s Atmosphere

Even if you choose an adults-only resort, keep in mind that “adults-only” means 18 and up. Some resorts cater more to a younger adult crowd, which you may or may not be looking for. For example, Riu Santa Fe in Cabo is one such resort with a well-known party atmosphere. If you are looking for something more romantic, try a resort that is not only adults-only but also couples-only (Sandals resorts are notoriously romantic and couples-only). Whether you are looking for a modern and sophisticated vibe or an authentic and tropical ambiance, Mexico and the Caribbean have plenty of all-inclusive resorts to choose from.

 

 

Due to the wide variety of resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean, choosing the right one for you can become overwhelming! In addition, the number of options continues to grow as hoteliers launch new brands and open new resorts. Because of this, we have created this list of the 6 must-see new beach resorts!

 

1. UNICO 20˚87˚, Riviera Maya – Opened March 1, 2017

UNICO Hotels is the newest brand joining AIC Hotel Group, which houses Hard Rock Hotels, Nobu Hotels and Eden Roc in Miami. This adults-only resort appeals to millennials due to an emphasis on wellness, the local environment, and the local culture. The idea is to immerse guests in the destination as it is today, rather than relying on Mexican tradition. UNICO 20˚87˚ in Riviera Maya is just the first resort from the new brand. No word yet on what region they will be immersing us in next, but stay tuned!

Adults of all ages can enjoy the local-ingredient-infused cocktails and purchasable local art in the suites, in addition to the 18-room holistic spa on property. UNICO 20˚87˚ boasts 448 rooms plus an 11.6 thousand square foot ballroom and outdoor event space, therefore it is a great choice for hosting a destination wedding. To learn more about this new resort, download the Guest Experience app, which highlights the upcoming activities for the week. Guests are introduced to this app upon arrival, and it serves as a guide, schedule, and social platform for those on property.

 

2. Royalton St. Lucia – Opened January 15, 2017

Royalton’s new 352-room property in St. Lucia offers three distinct sections for guests. The general resort is family-friendly and open to all ages. The family-friendly general resort area includes a supervised kids club and a Hangout Teens Club for young adults. Kids will love the Splash Pad on property!

Diamond Club is available for added luxury and service, plus a private pool and beach area only for club members. Diamond Club is family friendly so children have full access to all Club areas. However, the Hideaway at Royalton St. Lucia is adults-only. Guests staying in one of the 166 suites in the Hideaway section have access to their own private pool and beach area, and no children are allowed. Hideaway is treated as it’s own resort inside of the Royalton St. Lucia resort.

 

3. Royalton Negril – Opened February 1, 2017

Royalton Resorts now holds properties in Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, St. Lucia and Negril.  Similar to Royalton St. Lucia, Royalton Negril also offers the Hideaway adults-only section as well as Diamond Club.

The Royalton Luxury Resorts brand continues to expand with Royalton Bavaro, set to open January 2018. Sitting on one of the best beaches in Punta Cana, possibly even the world, the Royalton Bavaro will have many activities dedicated to families including a splash park and lazy river. The Royalton brand continues to build on their adults-only Hideaway sections as well, with Hideaway at Royalton Punta Cana set to open (within the preexisting Royalton Punta Cana) on November 1, 2017.

 

4. Alohilani Resort at Waikiki Beach – Opening Fall 2017

Alohilani Resort, formerly Pacific Beach Hotel, underwent a $115 million redevelopment and is set to open in the upcoming months. The overhaul included the addition of two new saltwater infinity pools and two new restaurants, as well as complete redesign and construction of all 839 guestrooms and suites. Guests will love the modern Hawaiian beach house vibe in the newly renovated property. Thankfully, the Diamond Head views that made Pacific Beach Hotel known are still visible after the redevelopment. The hotel faces a big challenge in upgrading the 280,000 gallon oceanarium in the lobby. The new oceanarium will include a replenishment system that filters directly from the ocean and will soon be home to over 1,000 protect marine life.

 

5. Park Hyatt St. Kitts – Opening November 1, 2017

This St. Kitts property is the first Park Hyatt property in the Caribbean. Park Hyatt St. Kitts has three signature restaurants, a spa and wellness center, indoor and outdoor event spaces, 78 rooms and 48 suites that include rooftop pools. The location is ideal because it is overlooking ‘The Narrows’, a straight that separates St. Kitts from the volcanic island of Nevis.

In order to keep in line with the popular cultural immersion theme, Park Hyatt St. Kitts offers a series of “journeys” that will be available to guests once the new resort opens. These “journeys” as Julian Moore, GM of Park Hyatt St. Kitts explains in an interview with the Caribbean Journal,”aim at exposing guests to the island’s culture and history.” He continues, “We are delighted to introduce our guests to the unique Park Hyatt experience that embraces the vibrant culture, history, and people that define the Federation of St. Kitts & Nevis.”

Puerto Vallarta is a Mexican destination spread along the sparkling blue Bahía de Banderas. My favorite part about Puerto Vallarta is the unbelievably picturesque mountain and sea views dotted with beautiful boutique hotels and larger resorts. There are plenty of things to do here, including boating, horseback riding, diving, and walking along the malecón (boardwalk). After sunset, Puerto Vallarta rivals Playa del Carmen and San Jose del Cabo with their nightlife scene.

Our list of the best resorts offers options for every budget. Check them out below!

 

Value Options

You don’t have to break the bank in order to enjoy a luxurious, all-inclusive vacation in Puerto Vallarta. Barcelo Puerto Vallarta is one of our favorite resorts for those looking to save a little bit of money, but not skimp on amenities. It sits on Mismaloya beach in south Puerto Vallarta, surrounded by stunning mountain vistas on one side, and the Pacific Ocean on the other. It is on the smaller side, with 316 suites, but they still have several restaurants with a wide range of cuisines.

Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta (pictured above) is another relatively inexpensive all-inclusive resort. Here you will find stunning contemporary Mexican architecture and traditional Mexican decor. The building complements the surrounding Western Sierra Madre Mountains.

Lastly, Riu Palace Pacifico is another great option. If you want to escape from the bustle of the city center, this resort offers the very best to meet your needs. Here you can experience 24 hour room service, several buffet and theme restaurants, a free gym, and a luxurious spa.

 

Mid-Range Options

Dreams Villamagna Nuevo Vallarta is a slightly more expensive option compared to the first three resorts. This all-suite, AAA Four Diamond Resorts is family-friendly, but also great for couples and romance. The oceanfront property boasts a gorgeous beach on Banderas Bay, views of the Sierra Madre Mountains, and more.

Another great mid-level option in Puerto Vallarta is Hyatt Ziva (pictured above). This property is also family and kid-friendly, but great for couples also. This resort sits on a private beach called Las Estacas. Here you will find eleven unique restaurants, bars and lounges, plus the lobby is a great spot for whale watching.

Lastly, Secrets Vallarta Bay is a great mid-range option. This stunning property is within walking distance of the famous El Malecon boardwalk. Plus, enjoy full access to next door Now Amber Puerto Vallarta resort, which means more restaurants, more pools, and more beach! However, if you want to splurge, check out the two below options!

 

Splurge Options

For those wanting to go all out, we suggest one of two luxury all-inclusive properties which are located just north of Puerto Vallarta proper, in Riviera Nayarit. Marival Residences Riviera Nayarit is a great option. Here you will find spacious residences, gourmet a la carte international dining, and unlimited golf.

Finally, Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit (picturedabove) is another luxury property in this same area. Here you can experience the only all-inclusive property in the Mexican Pacific that has received Five Diamonds by AAA.

Los Cabos is Mexico’s ultimate vacation destination, with many resorts and a coastline stretching from the Sea of Cortez to the Pacific Ocean, plus 350 days of sunshine per year. This seaside escape at the tip of the Baja Peninsula is an absolute paradise. You will love it if you are a surfer, golfer, diver, or hiker. It is also the perfect destination for relaxation or for dancing the night away.

When choosing a resort for your stay in Los Cabos, consider the different vibes of sister towns Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo. You’re probably going to be choosing between the many beach resorts that sit between these two towns, in what is known as The Corridor. Below we list the best Los Cabos resorts for every budget.

The Best Resorts in Los Cabos for Every Budget

1. Value Resorts in Los Cabos

There are many great all-inclusive resorts to choose from in Los Cabos that won’t break the bank. One of these is Royal Solaris Los Cabos Resort & Spa. This oceanfront resort has a Mexican hacienda style dotted with lush gardens and pools. In addition, you’ll find four bars, five restaurants, a spa and beauty salon, and dinner shows at Tehuacan Theater.

Another budget-friendly option is Riu Santa Fe. Our favorite part of this all-inclusive property is its prime location on El Medano Beach. This is a great option for a bachelor or bachelorette party, as it is within walking distance of nightlife.

Right next door to Riu Santa Fe is Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas (pictured above). This will run a bit more expensive than Riu Santa Fe, but it has the same great location. In addition, you’ll find more luxurious amenities here.

 

2. Budget-Friendly Resorts in Los Cabos

Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos (pictured above) is a family-friendly all-inclusive oasis. Here you will find stunning views of the Sea of Cortez, plus a shuttle service to San Jose del Cabo. In addition, this property has 12 restaurants and a luxurious spa.

Another mid-range option is Pueblo Bonito Rose Resort & Spa. The prime focus at this resort is relaxation and it is the perfect setting for an elegant romantic rendezvous. Our favorite part about this resort is that it has all-suites that include kitchenettes and deluxe amenities.

The Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos All Inclusive Golf & Spa Resort also falls in this middle category based on price. You will be struck immediately by the stunning suites built into the cliff above the Sea of Cortez

 

3. Luxury Resorts in Los Cabos

Los Cabos is definitely not lacking when it comes to uber-fancy hotels and resorts. Two of our favorite budget-topping all-inclusive properties are Le Blanc Spa Resort Los Cabos and Grand Velas Los Cabos (pictured above). I had the opportunity to stay at Le Blanc for its grand opening in March, and it absolutely did not disappoint. It was by far the most luxurious resort I have ever stayed at!

Grand Velas is one of the best resorts in all of Los Cabos. The property itself is beyond stunning, will gorgeous architecture and Mexican artwork throughout. The suites here have a unique indoor-outdoor living design, and the food absolutely cannot be beaten.

It’s no secret that the travel experts at Enchanted Travel are all-in on all-inclusive! Read below for five reasons booking an all-inclusive resort for your next group getaway is a great idea!

 

1. Shared Space Plus Privacy

Sure, a shared beach house sounds great in theory, but what happens when you need some space from your travel mates? An all-inclusive resort allows your group to stay in the same location, but each of you has your own accomodations to unwind. There are plenty of restaurants, beaches, pools, bars, and lounge areas for you and your travel companions to enjoy together, but also areas for privacy. For instance, book a family-friendly group getaway at Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Then, book yourself a massage at the hotel’s full-service Zen spa, which includes 11 treatment rooms and dozens of treatment options. After some “me time” at the spa, you’ll be recharged for a group seafood lunch at Hyatt Ziva’s Blue Grill at CalypZo.

 

2. Plenty of Accommodation Options

If you’re traveling with a large group, some people may want to stay in a large suite, while others may want an economy room for themselves. Luckily, many all-inclusive resorts have an extensive list of room categories to choose from to meet your different budgets and needs. Take Beaches Turks & Caicos for example. Here you can choose from over two dozen categories for your group accomodations. A larger family or group of friends may want to book the the Italian Oceanview Concierge Family Suite with Kids Room, while a young couple may opt for a Caribbean Deluxe room that overlooks the pool and tropical garden.

 

3. No Splitting the Bill

Big dinners and group activities are what make a group trip so memorable. With that being said, when it comes to dividing the price, things can get a little murky or even awkward. Check your check-splitting anxiety at the door when you check into an all-inclusive resort. Here, everyone in your group will have already paid for their share of most expenses. Then you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy an unforgettable trip sans tension or confusion.

 

4. Activities Galore

Many all-inclusive properties offer a wide variety of activities to accommodate a multi-generational family or an eclectic group. Your travel expert at Enchanted Travel can help you identify which resorts have the best activities to meet your needs. Don’t forget that there are an abundance of family-friendly all-inclusive resorts with tons of kids activities. Options like Beaches Resorts and Hard Rock Hotels & Resorts have plenty of adult fun to offer in addition to family options.

 

5. Perfect for Picky Eaters

When traveling with children or adult picky eaters, it is important to have lots of choices come meal time. Most all-inclusive resorts have a number of restaurants, bars, and snack lounges to ensure everyone in your party is satisfied. From a la cart items at the buffets, to specialty restaurants like teppanyaki and Italian, even the pickiest eater can find something to enjoy.

Our travel specialist Marissa recently returned from a stay at Dreams Los Cabos Suites Golf Resort & Spa. This 5-Star, All-Inclusive, family-friendly resort is a great option if you’re heading to Cabo.

What Marissa loved about the property

1. Great service

From the time your shuttle drops you off at Dreams Los Cabos from the airport, you are greeted with a fresh, cold towel and champagne. Marissa loved the “great, friendly service” and that they called her by her name, Ms. Hatcher. Service at the restaurants was great as well. The wait staff pulls your chair out for you and places your napkin in your lap. It’s small details like this that elevate the level of service here. You’ll also experience great service at the pools and swim-up bars!

 

2. Delicious, fresh food

Dreams Los Cabos offers eight “dining experiences”, including four à la carte restaurants, a buffet, a grill and a café. The French restaurant, Bordeaux, is adults-only. Another great thing about the restaurants is that there no reservations required. In addition, the resort does not make you wear a wristband! Marissa noted that the preferred club lounge is open 24 hours and always has really great snacks and light meals.

 

3. All rooms have an ocean view

One of the best things about this resort is that every single room has an ocean view. The beach at the resort is non-swimmable, but Marissa loved being able to hear the sounds of the waves crashing.

 

4. Great property for weddings

This is a great option for weddings because it suits all different types of people – families, couples, single people, older people, and children. Their suites are also suitable for families or groups. Choose from 1 or 2 bedroom suites – the 2 bedroom suites can accommodate a family of 6.

 

5. Tons of activities

There is so much to do at this resort! They have three pools, including an adults-only pool, an infinity pool and a kids pool with a slide. The infinity pool has music, games, and entertainment, and both pools have a swim-up bar. You’ll also find nightly entertainment at the resort including a fire show and a pirate show while Marissa stayed there. She also enjoyed the live music in the lobby bar. They even have a nightclub that opens later in the evening and stays open late. Marissa also enjoyed the spa. Her and two of her friends had  massages, and they were great! Another great thing to keep in mind is that they have a place to watch any sporting events or games in the nightclub during the day.

Sanctuary Cap Cana will celebrate its grand re-opening in January of 2019, after undergoing a $35 million modernization.

In addition, guests will love the newly-renovated lobby, restaurants, and world-class spa.

 

7. White Sands Hotel, Waikiki

Honolulu’s White Sands Hotel is currently under renovation to restore it to its original 1960’s glory. This funky, fun property gives a major nod to the old-fashioned Hawaii loved by many.

In addition, on-property restaurants will also take fun in the throwback vibes, with elevated 1960’s food items.
