The 10 Best All-Inclusive Resorts in the Caribbean 2017

From sprawling resorts to intimate boutique hotels, these all-inclusive hideaways appeal to a variety of travelers.

Finding an all-inclusive retreat in the Caribbean isn't difficult. All-inclusive properties, which typically bundle all meals, alcohol and nonalcoholic beverages and a variety of activities in their rates, are as synonymous with the region as umbrella-laden drinks and turquoise-tinted waters. But wading through all of the options -- from cozy boutique hideaways to massive resorts -- can be a challenge. To help you narrow down your choices, U.S. News took into account each property's overall score from the 2017 Best Hotels in the Caribbean rankings, along with additional data to determine the Best All-Inclusive Resorts in the Caribbean.

10. Sandals LaSource Grenada Resort & Spa

If you're on the hunt for an all-inclusive that packages nearly everything into the room rate -- including butler service, gratuity and motorized water sports -- this property on Grenada's Pink Gin Beach is for you. The only Sandals outpost on the island, LaSource Grenada Resort & Spa is home to five pools, 10 restaurants and countless land and water sports activities, not to mention evening entertainment -- all covered by the all-inclusive rate.

8. GoldenEye

Once a postwar sanctuary for James Bond author Ian Fleming, this 52-acre resort in Jamaica's Oracabessa Bay is now one of the island's most luxurious hideaways. Take your pick from beach huts, cottages and villas, including the one where Fleming penned all 14 of his famous Bond books. When you're not relaxing in your digs, you can snorkel in the 4-acre lagoon, play a round of tennis or book a treatment at the FieldSpa. Half-board rates, which include two meals per day, and fully inclusive rates are available.

7. Spice Island Beach Resort

Spread out across 8 acres of Grenada's cherished Grand Anse Beach, Spice Island Beach Resort is a family-run boutique hotel. The resort's accommodations are just as impressive as its location, and feature balconies or patios that usher in the cool Caribbean breeze. Select suites are also outfitted with private pools and soaking tubs. Room rates here cover all meals and beverages, nonmotorized water sports activities such as snorkeling and paddleboarding, a supervised kids club and golf green fees, plus tennis and bike rentals.

6. The Palms Turks and Caicos

The Palms Turks and Caicos certainly knows how to pamper its guests.

3. Jade Mountain

It's all about the views at Jade Mountain. Each of the resort's accommodations, which the property dubs "sanctuaries," is built with just three walls, meaning visitors can enjoy unobstructed vistas of St. Lucia's Piton Mountains and the Caribbean Sea. In addition to panoramic views, Jade Mountain touts a long list of island sports, including snorkeling in the Anse Chastanet Bay and sunset sailing on the resort's yacht. Jade Mountain offers a variety of optional all-inclusive plans, ranging from breakfast and dinner to all meals.
