Want to take the wife (no pics) on an adult (not hedonism, just no kids) vacation this summer (July). What are your favorite all-inclusive resorts. Trying to avoid Mexico, Jamaica and Curacao - we have done those.

Iberostar Grands are pretty nice.

Second the Iberostar Grands (we went in Mexico). Couples Swept Away in Jamaica also very solid.

I know you said you're trying to avoid Mexico but Im going here in a little more than a week, will report back. It is brand new and initial reviews are very good.

Unico Riviera Maya

Not sure how you can avoid Mexico and the Carribbean when searching for an all inclusive. Maybe a European cruise is what you're looking for

Since you are excluding those, I'll say we had a great time at Paradisus in Punta Cana a couple years ago. It is not adult only, but there were almost no kids when we went. It was also very affordable, at least at that time.

No disrespect, but I think it's rather silly of you to disregard entire countries simply because you've been behind gated walls drinking fruity cocktails and posting on Instagram.

Furthermore, if you are at an all inclusive resort, why does it matter what country you are in? It's not like you're experiencing any of the culture anyway besides the taxi ride from the airport.

I get what you are saying, but even from an all-inclusive there are plenty of options to leave the resort. I prefer not doing all-inclusive now, but the few times I have, we left the resort several times when staying at them. Also, Jamaica is definitely different than other places, even inside an all inclusive, due to the people.

We are just trying to expand our country visited count, nothing against those countries at all. Mexico (Iberostar) has been my favorite of all time.

We are looking for Caribbean, just not Curacao, Jamaica or Mexico.

Dreams Tulum was very nice and relaxing.

The Royal Plantation in Ocho Rios was very nice too. But it's been 14 years since I've been there.

ETA: Disregard my post, I initially didn't see the part about avoiding the 2 places I mentioned.

LOL, everyone keeps saying Mexico and Jamaica. We have just done that and looking to add to the country visited list (sorry I love Bama ) . We are fans of the Iberostar hotels.
