Just steps away from the bars, cafés and boutiques on Playa del Carmen’s buzzy Fifth Avenue, this beachfront, newly renovated, adults-only resort – where every room is a suite – makes for the perfect couples’ retreat.
There’s a Mayan-themed spa, eight restaurants, four bars and a vibrant programme of evening entertainment, including live music and Cirque du Soleil–style shows.
Alongside lazy days on the stunning white-sand beach, the resort offers guests the chance to discover different aspects of Mexican culture, from tasting Yucatan tapas in a traditional “cantina” to experiencing a pre-Hispanic temazcal ceremony for creating positive energy, renewal and balance in the body, mind and spirit.
Delve into Jamaica’s fascinating culture and history with a stay at all-inclusive Hilton Rose Hall, set on the stunning 18th-century sugar plantation of the same name.
Families looking for an active break will find much to love, with one of Jamaica’s largest water parks inside the resort: Sugar Mill Falls has lagoons, a lazy river, a swim-up bar and a 280-foot water slide. Cinnamon Hill Golf Course and historic Rose Hall Great House are also nearby.
Active types can take advantage of the on-site tennis courts, driving range and non-motorised watersports, while those looking for something a little more indulgent can book soothing treatments at the Radiant Spa.

A great option for those who want to combine days on the beach with time exploring the lush island of the Dominican Republic, this upscale resort is idyllically situated on Bayahibe Beach, which is a Blue Flag stretch of white sand with breathtaking views. And then there’s the Splash Down water park, with fantastic slides and a lazy river. The traditional village of Bayahibe and picture-perfect Saona Island are close by.
At night, try Caribbean fusion cuisine at Pelicanos or Mediterranean at Kalamata, with unlimited reservation-free dining. On the drinks side, there are tequila connoisseurs, wine sommeliers and professional mixologists to guide tastings. Round off the evening with a visit to the Tequileria to try a shot or two of Mexico’s most famous tipple.
Recently renovated, the hotel is home to 11 restaurants and bars, all part of the all-inclusive programme, along with unlimited premium drinks. The most recent addition is the Rum Factory, serving traditional Jamaican dishes that can be paired with unique rum cocktails.
Children are catered for by the kids (fun for 4-12s) and teens clubs (entertainment for 13-17s). That allows parents a chance to indulge in a treatment at the spa or a round of golf at one of the two championship courses nearby, before a family dinner in one of the hotel’s eight restaurants and bars.
For the ultimate escape, upgrade to a premium room, offering a VIP lounge, private beach area and pool, and personalised check-in – and all guests over 18 can utilise the adults-only section of the hotel at no extra charge.
All-inclusive luxury has been redefined with this resort, built from the ground up in the most exclusive area of the Dominican Republic: gated community Cap Cana. Set on the white sands of Juanillo Beach and just 15 minutes’ drive from Punta Cana airport, this luxurious adults-only hotel is ideal for a restorative romantic break.
Combine relaxing treatments at the cenote-inspired Larimar spa – which boasts a hydrotherapy circuit, outdoor oasis lagoon and 14 treatment rooms – with invigorating dips in the Canapolis water park, which features a lazy river with grotto cascade, water cannons and five slides.
For when you want to exercise out of the water, there’s a spacious state-of-the-art fitness centre with cardio area, strength zone, TRX training, spinning room and classes that include yoga, step and Pilates.
