Jamaica is home to more all-inclusive resorts than any other island in the Caribbean, from budget properties like the FDR resorts to the tony Grand Lidos. There are about 30 pay-one-price resorts in all, situated in major resort areas like Montego Bay, Negril, Runaway Bay, and Trelawny. Some cater to families, some to couples only, and some -- like the Hedonism resorts -- to the naughty at heart. My comprehensive guide will help you choose the Jamaican all-inclusive that best suits your needs...
