Best All-Inclusive Resorts in the Caribbean

1. Club Med Punta Cana Caribbean All-Inclusive Resort

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

“We ‘won’ our trip to this all-inclusive resort at a Charity Auction to the Club Med in Punta Cana. As we exited the plane, it was my first experience feeling like I was walking into a Crayola crayon box. Everything is just a little more vibrant. We took a taxi to the resort, past one of Julio Iglesias’ homes (no sighting of Enrique).

Arriving at the resort, we received our first virgin strawberry daiquiri (which the little ones could have throughout the stay). We signed the littles up for Kids Club (4 months-17 years) right away so they could pick and choose their activities, giving the adults some downtime and then reuniting for family activities.

The spa allowed for as many massages as we could fit into our week. And we welcomed them during these very active days.

We love this resort because of the outdoor activities: Trapeze school started a lifelong hobby, archery, golf, and fitness center, sailing and paddleboarding, the fun poolside antics of cast members (one dressed up like a trash can and startled adults and children alike) and the ability to go on excursions geared toward nature or culture.

Our favorite day excursion was to Bayahibe, where we embarked on a 75-foot catamaran that took us to ‘The Wall’ for a snorkeling adventure accompanied by a guide. Stopping at Catalina, we enjoyed a delicious meal and fresh seafood at one of the gourmet restaurants. Later, we lounged briefly at the beach before a snorkeling tour along the reef. Our catamaran trip took us along the coast of La Romana and Casa de Campo before heading to the Chavón River to discover the natural beauty of its surroundings.
