If you’ve never personally experienced an all-inclusive vacation in the Dominican Republic, your impression of one might hinge on long buffet lines and lip-synched Michael Jackson shows. It’s true that big, booze-happy all-inclusive resorts are quite popular, especially in Punta Cana (the country’s tourism hub), but they’re far from the island’s only hotel option, or…
Beach at Luxury Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado, Samana/Oyster The Dominican Republic is perhaps most famous for its party-hard all-inclusive stalwart Punta Cana. But the island nation has so much more to offer visitors in the way of nature, culture, and different types of hotels. One of the most underrated destinations in the D.R. is the…
Beach at Legends Resort/Oyster A beachfront hotel in Barbados for $150 a night? Your own Jamaican oasis with white sand and aqua waters for $100 a night?

Some trips are all about hitting museums, joining guided tours, and scrambling to see as many local sights and landmarks as possible.

The Dominican Republic is no secret to travelers who crave gorgeous tropical landscapes, stunning Caribbean seas, buzzing Latin culture, and an escape from the brutal winters found elsewhere in the world. It also happens to have some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. And while many seasoned D.R. vacationers know all about the country’s most…
Yes, there are many, many Caribbean resorts for those who love their in-room liquor dispensers, swim-up bars, and swim-out pool access. But for travelers looking for Caribbean accommodations on the opposite end of the spectrum — pretty, private bungalows with gobs of local charm — these quaint resorts are quiet oases with mellow, non-mega-resort atmospheres.
The Caribbean is packed with all-inclusive properties, ranging from cheap spots with subpar food and disappointing entertainment to luxurious resorts with high prices that reflect the quality of service.
