Choosing an all-inclusive resort can be difficult, giving the prevalence and variety of these vacation destinations. Fortunately, many resorts tailor their facilities to a specific group or preference. For example, there are couples-only resorts. Another type of all-inclusive resort caters to families with children of virtually any age. But you need to think more deeply than just “couple" or “family" when planning your vacation. Resorts fall into many categories. Here are just a few “flavors" of resort for you to consider: beach, casino, diving, golf, honeymoon, meeting and convention, romantic, spa, wedding, family and budget.

The selection process can get complicated. Luckily, the Internet is a great resource. Many Web sites categorize and even rate the best all-inclusive resorts according to the features and amenities offered. Resorts like Sandals and Beaches are consistently rated high. For example, Beaches - Turks and Caicos is often rated as a top beach and diving resort, while the lesser-known Riu Bambu All-Inclusive - Punta Cana, Dominican Republic is rated as a top casino all-inclusive resort.

If you’re looking for a golf-oriented resort, consider Sandals Ocho Rios Resort & Golf Club - Ocho Rios, Jamaica or Sandals St. Lucia Golf Resort & Spa - St. Lucia. For couples only, there’s Sandals Antigua Resort & Spa, Antigua or Couples Negril - Negril, Jamaica. You’ll even find nude and clothing optional resorts like Hedonism III - Runaway Bay, Jamaica.

The key to finding the best all-inclusive resort for your vacation is to do some research and find a resort that’s tailored to your interests and preferences. You’re more likely to enjoy your vacation at a golf-oriented resort if you’re an avid golfer. For that lavish, once-in-a-lifetime beachfront wedding, choose a resort that specializes in romantic weddings. Even if you’re on a tight budget, you should be able to find an all-inclusive resort that will accommodate you. With some thought and planning, you’ll be on your way to the vacation of a lifetime.
