What’s your style? Family vacations in Florida? Maybe a Caribbean beach with no passport requirement. Regardless of your taste, we’ve got the best all-inclusive resorts for you, located right here in the Land of the Free (albeit, these resorts will be far from free).
This list can’t suggest some of the best hotels in the United States without mentioning Hawaii. Travel to one of the most iconic vacation spots in the world, and stay at Travaasa Hana. Prefer to stay more inland near the opposite of a beach? Phillipsburg, Montana, is home to the Ranch at Rock Creek, a resort where you can explore nature in a relatively secluded locale. All-inclusives are a staple in the Caribbean, so plan one of your next trips to the U.S. Virgin Islands and one of their many properties.
Whether you’re looking for a sprawling beach or a mountainous enclave, read on for a list of some of the best all-inclusive resorts in the United States.
Travaasa Hana – Maui, Hawaii
Located at the end of Maui’s famed Road to Hana, 70-room Travaasa Hana immerses guests in Hawaii’s ancient, peaceful culture with classes in hula and throw-net fishing, historic tours of Hana and horseback rides along the coast, making this one of the best all-inclusive vacations in the United States.
Tech-free rooms, which are modeled after traditional plantation houses, have high ceilings, hardwood floors and overhead fans. Natural beauty surrounds Hana: 400-foot Waimoku Falls, the blacks-and beach at Waianapanapa State Park and the gorgeous cascading pools of Oheo.
Bolongo Bay Beach Resort – St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
Barefoot ambience rules at Bolongo Bay. The resort’s 62 rooms are set within a sun-splashed palm grove that ends on a perfect curve of Caribbean beach. At night, Iggie’s, the island’s ultimate beach bar, welcomes revelers from all over St. Thomas for toes-in-the-sand dinners and great music.
One of the best all-inclusive honeymoon packages in the United States includes a couple’s massage, a $50 resort credit, a romantic sunset sail around Charlotte Amalie harbor and a half-day, swim-with-the-turtles snorkeling trip.
The Ranch at Rock Creek – Philipsburg, Montana
At the Ranch at Rock Creek, days are spent horseback riding through pristine meadows, fly-fishing, skeet shooting, hiking and mountain biking. Come evening, guests return to luxurious tent or cabin lodgings with amenities like clawfoot soaking tubs, Frette linens and cedar saunas.
Glampers favor the resort’s private, luxury canvas cabins, which have real walls and a canvas roof. Another option, the Trapper Cabin, sits on the riverbank and has its own hot tub.
Sugar Bay Resort & Spa – St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
Perched on a Caribbean cliff overlooking the Atlantic on the north side of St. Thomas, Sugar Bay offers easy access to the restaurants and shopping at Red Hook Marina. Rooms, some with ocean views, have balconies and Balinese-style furnishings.
The star of the show is the pool, which has a waterfall and a cave area. Hop a ferry at Red Hook, and spend the day hiking and sunning on St. John, the smallest and least-developed of the three U.S. Virgin Islands.
Divi Carina Bay All-Inclusive Beach Resort & Casino – St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands
Spread across a quiet beach on St. Croix’s secluded west end, this budget-conscious Caribbean low-rise all-inclusive is an ideal playground for scuba divers — the resort offers free lessons — and laid-back loungers, making this one of the most affordable all-inclusive honeymoon packages in the United States.
Breezy rooms have balconies or terraces with sea views; there’s also a casino onsite, if you enjoy gambling. Book an excursion to nearby Buck Island, an uninhabited isle where you can snorkel, hike, swim and sunbathe on a golden beach.
Club Med Sandpiper Bay – Port St. Lucie, Florida
Families can’t get enough of this sprawling bayside resort where the rate includes golf, tennis, yoga, Zumba and sailing for all ages. Childcare starts at four months; older kids love the cooking classes and circus school.
Deluxe family rooms have separate spaces for parents and children. There’s also a 24-hour supply room stocked with necessities. An adults-only pool and L’Occitane spa ensure you get plenty of couple time, too, at Club Med Sandpiper Bay.
