Best All-Inclusive Resorts in Jamaica

Round Hill is phenomenal. Sincere, intimate hospitality; private child care; large, beautifully designed rooms by Ralph Lauren; and breathtaking grounds (to which no photo can do justice)—it is easily among the best resorts in Jamaica. While it's near Montego Bay, Round Hill Hotel and Villas is a quiet, country club-style property that feels entirely secluded. You'll also score stunning sea views from every room. Amenities include a cliff-side infinity pool and a lovely outdoor spa, all set amidst the beautiful, lush greenery surrounding the resort. The Round Hill Villas all-inclusive package is optional, but worth it, as it covers all meals and drinks, room service, airport transfers, a welcome bottle of bubbly, and even a rafting trip. Paying as you go for all of these services will add up quickly.

Situated in the town of Falmouth, west of Montego Bay, Jamaica, this adults-only, all-inclusive resort offers a relaxed and romantic alternative to the party scene in Mo'Bay. However, it still offers plenty of entertainment options, from evening theater shows to a lively Martini Bar. The resort’s location on its own peninsula overlooking the sea gives it a sense of seclusion. Still, its distance from airport connections at Sangster International Airport, a 40-minute drive away, makes it a convenient option for people making shorter trips to the island. Excellence Oyster Bay rooms are spacious and inviting, offering a variety of floor plans and stunning views. Junior Suite Oceanfront units offer front-and-center views of the Caribbean Sea. Guests willing to spend a little more can get their own plunge pool by booking a Junior Suite with Private Pool, while those wanting to really up the ante can opt for an Excellence Club package, which comes with all sorts of perks, including access to exclusive restaurants, a private reception area, a private beach, and included treatments at the spa. Facilities open to all guests include a variety of restaurants serving everything from Asian fusion fare to steak, plus excellent wellness facilities with a full spa menu and a well-equipped gym.

Arguably Jamaica's most romantic escape, the upscale, adults-only The Caves features 12 private cottages and suites situated atop dramatic seaside cliffs. The entire property feels bohemian and undiscovered, though, make no mistake — this is one of the most popular resorts in Jamaica. The Caves also has one of Jamaica’s best all-inclusive liquor selections. Dining at The Caves is exceptional, and menus are crafted from local, seasonal ingredients. Meals are served in the breezy lounge during breakfast and lunch, and in the cliffside restaurant for dinner. However, for no extra cost, you can arrange dinner by candlelight in a private cave (five courses; reservations are required). Please note that there is no sandy beach here (in fact, the Negril region is often rocky). You'll find The Caves hard to beat in the Negril area, and the resort also made our list of the Caribbean's best all-inclusive resorts.

Designed for families with children and teens, Beaches Negril Resort & Spa is a stunning property offering a diverse range of activities, classes, and events. With a water park, kids' camp, teen hangouts, and specialty activities, children have plenty to keep them busy, and adults can enjoy the spa or candlelit dining for two. Their Eventide Penthouses can accommodate up to 18 people, making them perfect for extended families seeking a getaway. The location, right on Negril’s Seven Mile Beach, puts the resort a short drive away from the town center and a number of shops, boutiques, and craft markets, as well as restaurants and bars. Since the majority of guests are families, the resort can get noisy, but the hotel is so large that it's possible to find quiet.

Situated well to the east of bustling Montego Bay, Hyatt Zilara Rose Hall is one-half of a two-resort beachfront Hyatt compound. Along with its sister property, Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall, the two collectively offer a long list of communal amenities, including nearly a dozen restaurants, two large pools, and an oceanfront spa. The quiet, elegant vibe is what most guests would expect of an adult-only Jamaican resort. Each of its 344 rooms features a spacious floor plan and a bright, modern decor. Amenities include fully stocked minibars, complimentary Wi-Fi, luxurious marble bathrooms, and private balconies or terraces — many with stunning ocean views. If you're looking for the same level of service and style, but traveling with kids, the Hyatt Ziva is a perfect alternative.

The sprawling Secrets Wild Orchid is one of the more luxurious adult-only all-inclusive resorts in Montego Bay. It has a laundry list of excellent features, including eight restaurants and five bars, plus a host of activities: a theater, a spa, a water sports and dive center, a shopping center, and a casino. Keep in mind that the resort shares virtually all of its amenities with the next-door Secrets St. James, but top-shelf liquor is the norm throughout both properties. However, you'll score nicer rooms at the Wild Orchid, along with a more luxurious vibe. It's worth upgrading to VIP status here and booking a Preferred Club room, as you'll enjoy separate check-in, upgraded minibars, better beach lounging on the beach, and an exclusive pool. The two beaches here also stay essentially private.

A small, romantic resort that once drew Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, the Jamaica Inn is all about quiet luxury. A wide, soft sand beach, an al fresco dining terrace, and a stunning sea-view spa keep guests coming back year after year. The 55 beautiful suites and cottages feature free Wi-Fi, high-end bathrooms, and water-view balconies (some with private plunge pools). The absence of TVs and radios preserves the quiet, unplugged vibe. This is not the place to party (the whole resort typically shuts down by midnight, for the most part.) The all-inclusive plan is highly regarded by past guests, although it will cost a substantial amount. But if you're looking to unplug without having to think about your drinks and meals, but don't want to stay at the nearby Ocho Rios mega-resorts, the Jamaica Inn is one of the best options on the island.

Set on a private beach within a short walk of downtown Ocho Rios, the 731-room Moon Palace Jamaica is a sprawling all-inclusive that’d give Vegas joints a run for their money in scale, features, and extravagance. Moon Palace Jamaica features sleek, beach-house-inspired rooms with balconies offering water views, and includes iPod docks, flat-screen TVs, liquor dispensers, and a welcome bottle of wine. There are four restaurants, multiple bars, four swimming pools, free non-motorized water sports, a world-class spa with 23 treatment rooms, a surf machine, and a state-of-the-art fitness center.

One of the original resorts along Jamaica's north coast, Half Moon feels as big as its reputation. And that's a good thing. The massive resort sprawls across its manicured beachfront landscape in a way that gives everything and everyone plenty of space — from the beach to the tennis courts and everywhere in between. The look varies from classic to entirely modern depending on where you find yourself in the resort. Everything, from a gorgeous spa to a new natural juice bar, updated fitness amenities, and even massive villas that make a perfect splurge for families or friend get-togethers, makes this a must-stay spot. Drinks at the west-facing bar are a must, as well, especially at sunset. The all-inclusive plan at Half Moon is optional, unlike other Montego Bay area resorts, but we recommend going for it, as paying as you go will add up quickly.

Secrets St. James is a slightly less luxurious resort than its sister property, Secrets Wild Orchid, but it's still a great option. It also has slightly lower rates than its posh neighbor (while sharing many of the amenities). Secrets St. James boasts a comprehensive list of amenities, including ten restaurants, eight bars, an expansive spa, nearly half a mile of beach, and numerous activities, such as a theater, dive center, shopping plaza, casino, and game room. Like all Secrets properties, upgrading to Preferred Club status will score tons of extra perks, like upgraded minibars, separate check-in, and an exclusive pool. Shared facilities with Wild Orchid give this a mega-resort feel.

The Dreams Rose Hall Resort & Spa is one of the nicest resorts to be found a 15-minute drive from Montego Bay's Hip Strip. This all-inclusive hotel offers an excellent list of amenities, including an immaculate private beach, a spa, and plenty of adult- and kid-friendly features (lazy river, anyone?). However, the Hilton's Sugar Mill Falls Water Park—Jamaica’s largest—distinguishes the Hilton from other area resorts. The 495 rooms are sharp and contemporary, with large flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and private balconies. There are numerous dining options, ranging from buffets to Italian and local fare, and top-shelf drinks can be scored at many of the bars.

The Azul Beach Resort Negril by Karisma is a modern all-inclusive that lines beautiful Seven Mile Beach. The resort's 285 rooms are sharp and spacious, with furnished terraces, sea views, and swim-up suites. You'll also find four pools, great dining options, a pretty stretch of beach, and a top-notch spa and fitness center. It also caters equally to couples and families, offering kid-friendly pools, a kids' club, and other activities. If children have a little too much energy for you, have no fear, as the resort has adults-only sections as well. Several restaurants serve a wide range of cuisines, from local Jamaican fare to Thai, and there is also great nighttime entertainment available. Overall, the Azul Beach Resort Negril a hip spot that ups the all-inclusive game in the Negril region.

Located along Negril’s beautiful Seven Mile Beach, the large, but laid-back Sandals Negril Beach Resort & Spa is a nice couples-only option. You'll find open-air dining, a variety of water and land sports, and enough entertainment and relaxation options to keep everyone happy and relaxed. The resort is a bit removed from the larger strip of hotels and cottages along the highway, but it is still close enough to popular local attractions and shops to give guests looking to explore the area easy access to the downtown area.

Across the street from the beach in the Negril area, the Sunset at the Palms has a warm, helpful staff, an intimate setting, and great food; all of which create a relaxing retreat that's a far cry from the crowded chaos at most all-inclusives. We especially like the treehouse-inspired rooms, the intimate pool with swim-up bar, and the themed nights at the buffet. You're not coming here for a barrage of activities day and night, but if you'd like a nice all-inclusive without the hassle of huge crowds, Sunset at the Palms is a great pick. Keep in mind that it's for adults only and is designed for mellow couples or small groups.

For adult guests who want to enjoy an all-inclusive experience but prefer a resort that’s a bit smaller and more private, Sandals Royal Caribbean makes a great choice. With a number of small beaches and a private island, the resort feels intimate and secluded, even though it’s a short drive to both the airport and downtown Montego Bay. It also happens to have some of the only overwater bungalows in Jamaica. Restaurants cater to all tastes, from a romantic French restaurant to a laid-back British-style pub to snacks on the beach, and premium alcohol is unlimited. Guests can also dine at nearby restaurants and partake in activities at the other two Sandals resorts, as well as enjoy extensive on-site activities and entertainment.

Located right on the beach in Montego Bay, Jewel Grande Montego Bay Resort & Spa is a family-friendly all-inclusive with a laid-back vibe and colonial-style interiors. Property features are focused on relaxation and light-hearted fun, with free non-motorized water activities such as kayaks and Hobie Cats, and an excellent spa with a mineral pool and a Himalayan salt lounge. Guests here get unlimited access to all six restaurants along with premium liquor and fresh juices in the spa. The resort is also a popular wedding venue, offering special packages for ceremonies of all sizes. However, the Jewel Grande is best suited to families, offering big rooms with kitchens and washers and dryers, plus a playground and a kids’ club.

As its name might suggest, the Couples Swept Away is restricted to couples ages 18 and up. And while it's not small, this 312-room all-inclusive resort manages to stay peaceful and is on one of Jamaica's best beaches (Seven Mile Beach, in Negril). Modern rooms, quality food, and a low-key atmosphere make this a great place for honeymooning couples or any couple celebrating a special occasion. Don't come here for the nightlife, but instead to relax on a beautiful stretch of beach and enjoy the relatively well-liked food and drink options that are part of the all-inclusive plan.

With 537-rooms, it is one of the largest in Jamaica, and with six bars, three restaurants, two buffets, five pools, a water park, lazy river, and a kids club- there truly is something for everyone.

This all-inclusive boutique resort has just 49 suites and provides a more intimate and personalized experience than you find at other, larger resorts. Suites feature private balconies, whirlpool tubs, and 24-hour room service. There are three gourmet restaurants, a cafe, and several bars and lounges.

Other amenities include an oceanfront infinity pool, a full-service spa, a fitness center, and a variety of water sports and activities.

This adults-only, couples-only boutique resort on Jamaica’s northern coast completed renovations in 2022 resulting in upgraded suites, a new restaurant, and updated spa. Sans Souci is famed for its natural romance – mineral springs, grotto-like pools, and even a small au naturel beach area. All-inclusive offerings are generous (from scuba diving and snorkeling to golf and excursions). It has only 150 suites, giving it a quiet, intimate atmosphere with very attentive service.
