Plan a Seniors' All-Inclusive Caribbean Vacation

As with families, the security provided by a gated all-inclusive resort is important for seniors; activities like golf, tennis, and biking also are attractive to older guests. The Couples Swept Away resort in Jamaica is a great option for tennis lovers, while numerous all-inclusives either have their own golf courses or provide access to those nearby. Note, however, that golf is not usually covered in the all-inclusive price.

For many seniors, the availability of free, unlimited alcohol is not a big attraction, and most want to steer clear of boisterous, singles- or family-oriented resorts and destinations -- choosing an all-inclusive in the Mayakoba or Playacar areas of Playa del Carmen, for example, over Cancun in the Mexican Caribbean.

Finally, seniors tend to be more seasoned travelers and therefore gravitate toward the high-end all-inclusive resorts; fine-dining options also are a big draw for seniors, such as the Breezes Grand in Negril.
