No wait, no wallet, no worries - just how a vacation should be.
All-inclusive resorts allow you customize your vacation and receive full amenities offered at the spot. You can share time with your children (or without them), pass time playing warm weather sports or at a spa, and your tabs at the resort bars and dining areas are completely taken care of. All you need to do is show up after booking at a resort, like these next almost five-star ones from Orbitz.
Hard Rock Hotel; 4.4 stars
You are given the choice between six wonderfully furnished rooms all but two offering 2 double beds or one king (the two without that option include both in the suite). The rooms have TVs that are LCD and satellite, double Jacuzzi bathroom sets, a mini bar, and balconies with breath-taking views. The hotel itself has 24-hour room service, a fitness center and pool, free internet and parking, a salon, a gift shop, and an on-site doctor.
The price: $545/night
Sandos Luxury Experience Resort & Spa; 4.4 stars
They offer 5 types of rooms: 2 with a king size bed; 2 with a choice between a king bed or two doubles; and 1 with both a king and two doubles. All the rooms come with access to internet, a shower and tub (separate) in a marble bathroom, a mini bar, and balconies over-looking either the ocean or Caribbean and Nichupte Lagoon. The resort has a childcare service, valet, an on-site doctor, 24-hour room service, a salon, and free parking. There's also an option for newlyweds to have a sweet honeymoon experience, just provide marriage proof.
The price: $376/night
Secrets The Vine Hotel; 4.6 stars
This is for adults only, so it's no wonder they cater mostly to honeymooners. There eight very different suite options, most with upgrades available. Some give you two queen beds or one king, most give a king bed with an extra sleeper sofa, and one even has a floating king bed. The amenities, like a refrigerator and mini bar, would convince you to stay in your room if it weren't for the perfect terrace type balcony over-looking the ocean to lure you out. The hotel has a night club, a game room, an on-site restaurant and doctor, continental breakfast, complimentary newspapers (Spanish or English), and 24-hour room service.
The price: $378/night
Le Blanc Spa Resort; 4.8 stars
This five-acre resort is also for adults only, catering to couples mostly. There are eight unique suite options able to accommodate two to four people. Some come with butler service, one has two French style balconies instead of one like the rest, another includes unlimited golf, and most have a comfort menu for the best bed and bath sets available (like lavender pillows and cucumber bath salts). You'll enjoy gorgeous views and lots of 21+ fun in this "adult playground," as Orbitz puts it.
The price: $699/night
The room rates appear high at first until you see what these all-inclusive resorts offer with it - like transportation to and from the airport. Book one now and pack your bags tight, because you're in for a truly once-in-a-lifetime trip. Watch out Cancun!
