All-Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Jamaica

This new all-inclusive hotel rises before a swath of Montego Bay beachfront, 701 rooms, and Asian and Italian restaurants.

Sandals Grande Ocho Rios Beach and Villa Resort, like other Sandals resorts, has a nice beachfront location but also boasts a pretty hillside section filled with streams and gardens. The former is dubbed The Caribbean Riviera, the latter the Villas of Eden; grab a drink at one of the resort's 10 bars and you can argue with your neighbors about who got the better room.

Located on one of Jamaica's best beaches, Sandals Montego Bay is one of the few all-inclusives with a sense of history: it was the first Sandals resort, and still retains some of the villas that made its predecessor, the Bay Roc Hotel, a mecca for the rich and famous in the Fifties. Boasts the longest private beach in Jamaica, where you can listen to the sounds of the surf from a seaside "love beds."

Negril and its miles of palm-fringed beaches are hard to top, but Sandals Negril offers plenty to keep you hanging around the resort, too, from a Japanese restaurant and clifftop bar to tennis and racquetball courts, ample watersports, and an upscale spa.

In spring 2010, Secrets made its first entry into Jamaica with a $180-million project -- the adults-only Secrets Wild Orchard and Secrets St. James, adjacent all inclusives on a T-shaped peninsula in Montego Bay. They are beauties, 351 suites each, on a stretch of white-sand beach. There are nine restaurants and nine bars, mostly in a shared promenade, which also boasts a recreation area and string of shops.

This Negril all-inclusive has "treehouse-style" rooms in a garden setting alongside two miles of beach. Amenities include a full gym, tennis, classes and nature walks, live evening reggae shows, and five restaurants and bars.
