What Else to Know About Caribbean Resorts for Couples
- Before booking any of the adults-only all-inclusive Caribbean resorts here, we strongly recommend reading the fineprint so that you understand what’s actually included (and what costs extra). For example, things such as spa treatments, day trips, and top-tier rooms and services may come with an additional fee.
- It’s also worth mentioning that some Caribbean all-inclusive resorts may have a minimum booking requirement (e.g. three nights or more). If there doesn’t appear to be availability for the dates you want, try adding an additional night or two to see if that changes things.
What is considered the best Caribbean island to visit for couples?
So many of the Caribbean islands have lots to offer for couples, but for most travelers, we think St. Lucia might just top the list. Year after year, it receives top marks from honeymooners for its romantic backdrop and wide choice of top-rated resorts geared towards couples.
How much is an adults-only all-inclusive resort in Caribbean?
The upfront costs of an all-inclusive resort will generally run you more per night than a regular hotel, but you can usually stand to save some money in the end once meals, drinks, and activities are all added up. Prices vary widely across the Caribbean, but start around $350 per night for an all-inclusive resort.
