Stay at any all-inclusive Occidential Grand or Allegro Resort in the Caribbean this summer and you'll save up to 40% off -- plus kids stay free at the Allegro properties. The resorts are located in Mexico, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic.

Summer rates are in effect now through Aug. 31, and while summertime is always deal time in the Caribbean, this year we're starting to see all-inclusives throw in free kids' stays, too.
