Riviera Maya | Punta Cana | Jamaica | Cancun | Los Cabos | Aruba
Riviera Maya
With 93 miles of unspoiled white sand beaches, it’s no wonder Riviera Maya is our top destination for an all-inclusive vacay. From the mythical Mayan ruins to the cooling waters of cenotes, there’s tons to do here for our adventurous True Beach Lovers. Plus, if you’re a water bug, you can get your snorkel on at the second-largest barrier reef in the world! But if you like to keep it casual and lounge around surrounded by resort luxury, there are all-inclusive resorts dotting the coastline from Playa del Carmen to Akumal to Tulum.
Punta Cana
Spacious white sand beaches teeming with palm trees and coconut drinks sound like paradise– oh wait, it’s just Punta Cana! This popular destination is one of the go-to spots to relax. But not to fret, there are still plenty of exciting experiences here if you’re looking to get out and about. Whether you sail to Saona Island for a quick escape or decide to swim with sharks and stingrays, Punta Cana has it all for adventurers as well. To top off this beach haven, the lush greenery on the island sets the scene of a tropical forest without having to travel halfway around the world. Talk about bonus points!
Jamaica
Jamaica’s laid-back culture, delicious food and dreamy beachfronts make this island a travelers’ paradise. Montego Bay, the heart of Jamaica, has all the world-famous beaches, combined with a festive atmosphere where you can be dancing the day away at the iconic Margaritaville or spend the day sailing on a catamaran. From Floyd’s Pelican Bar in the middle of the ocean to cliff jumping at Rick’s Café, Negril has the perfect amount of adventure and R&R for a tropical escape. Or stay in Ocho Rios, the smallest of the three, and visit exciting Dunn’s River Falls and revel in natural, untouched island beauty.
Cancun
Noted as one of the most widely-known all-inclusive destinations, Cancun is consistently dubbed the place to visit because it provides all the Caribbean beauty without the hassle it takes to get to a tiny island. Other than the breathtaking views and easy transport, Cancun also has a happening nightlife. Many all-inclusive resorts are located in Cancun’s infamous Hotel Zone, where the entertainment, bars and action are always alive. Here, you can go out and enjoy the hustle and bustle or lounge on the beach–there’s something for everyone.
Los Cabos
While Los Cabos technically isn’t in the Caribbean, there’s a reason it is continually a popular beach destination among True Beach Lovers. This place is where desert landscape and beachy vibes meet to form a unique space unlike any other. The blue waters of the Sea of Cortez are ideal for sailing to El Arco any time of day, but especially at sunset. It’s both a romantic oasis and an electric hub of entertainment. Don’t even get us started on the food! We’ll leave it up to you to add Cabo to the top of your bucket list.
Aruba
Nicknamed ‘One Happy Island,’ Aruba makes everyone’s Caribbean dreams come true. This slice of heaven has a consistent temperature year-round of about 82 degrees Fahrenheit, and it’s located outside of the hurricane zone, making it ideal to visit any time of year. The friendly locals and unique culture also set this island up to be perfect to vacay with the fam. Whether you head over to Flamingo Beach to make some new friends or plop down on famous Eagle Beach for a day of relaxation, you’ll never run out of exciting things to do on this fun island.
