For today's video we're gonna be talking about all-inclusives. I think a lot of
travelers, when they think about all-inclusives, they're like "Oh god, you
know, mediocre food, cookie cutter design" but I will tell you that the new crop of
all-inclusives are absolutely incredible and I can't
recommend them enough. I've checked out so many, the team at Jetsetter has
checked out so many and I'm going to highlight five of my favorites.
But before I dive in, I just want to talk a little bit about the type of traveler
who would be looking for an all-inclusive. I mean, this is really the
type of place where you're just going to relax, kick back. You want to avoid the
hustle and bustle. You just want to stay on property, take advantage of the great
restaurants, the beach nearby, and just not move too much.
These are in no particular order but I'm going to start with The Caves in Negril, Jamaica.
If you're looking to get really off the grid, this is a great option for you.
There are only 12 thatch-roof cottages and they're perched along this
limestone cliff that plunges into the Caribbean. Just for that mere fact,
you're not going to find any kids here because it's just too dangerous for them.
There's a great rum bar that you can go to in the evenings and just watch the
sunset. There's a lot of fun activities to do during the day. Snorkeling is
included in the rate. There are a lot of outcrops that you can jump into
the water from the rocks so that's really fun and it's just a great,
romantic, off-the-grid getaway. If you're looking for a little bit more
action, Negril's Seven Mile Beach is just down the road.
For our next property, we're going to go all the way to Cancún to the Excellence Playa
Mujeres which is a completely different vibe. I mean, I would say this is kind of
the Disneyland for adults of resorts and in the best possible way. It's got nine
restaurants that range from Indian to seafood. It's got 11 bars. It's got an
incredible spa. Every activity you can imagine: beach volleyball, snorkeling,
kayaking, I mean it really has everything here. If you love golfing, the
peninsula is also home to one of Mexico's best golf courses, Playa Mujeres.
Number three on our list is Jade Mountain St. Lucia, and I have to say,
this is one of my favorite properties in the world. St. Lucia alone is so stunning
because you've got beautiful beaches but you also have the Pitons mountain range
so it's this great mix of mountain and beach. I have to say few adults-only
all-inclusives check as many boxes as Jade Mountain does. I mean, it really has
everything you can imagine if you're looking for romance.
There are 28 suites that overlook the mountain range so you've got stunning
views and all of them have decks. You've got rum tastings, cooking classes,
hot-stone massages, a fantastic restaurant with a James Beard Award-winning chef
who will actually create a custom meal for you and deliver it to your room so
it's a very special place.
Number four on our list is COMO Parrot Cay in Turks
and Caicos. What I love about Turks and Caicos is it's so easy to get to.
It's about a three- to four-hour flight from the U.S. so extremely accessible and
the actual property is super exclusive. It's on a 1,000-acre private island
hideaway and really sets a new bar in terms of luxury for the all-inclusive.
So when you arrive at the property, a chauffeured golf cart will pick you up
and deliver you directly to either a suite, room, or villa.
Once you get settled in, you can go and explore the property.
There's a beautiful infinity pool. There's an award-winning spa with yoga
pavilions and a gorgeous private beach.
Just a quick note about the property:
kids are actually welcome here but the luxury factor tends to keep big groups away.
For our final property, we're going to go all the way to the Maldives to the
Komandoo Private Island Resort. This place is fantastic. It's beautiful, it's got
everything, but most of all, it's a lot more affordable than other luxury
resorts in the Maldives. You do have to take an extra 45-minute flight from
the Malé airport to arrive at the property but it's so worth it because
once you got there, the all-inclusive option has endless activities to choose from,
from water sports to beach volleyball to kayaking, I mean everything
under the sun. Along with all the activities, the resort has fantastic food
and I highly recommend signing up for a sushi-making class. It's a lot of fun.
These are just a few of my favorite all-inclusives, but we've got a lot
more options in the link below so definitely check them out. And if you
have any recommendations of all-inclusives you've been to, make a
