Intimate All Inclusive Resorts- Less Than 100 Rooms


I woke up this morning thinking about how to improve the "Vacation Assistant" portion of our all inclusive travel site and thought of former clients who were looking for a more intimate setting. It seems that some of you don't want to stay in a behemoth of a resort that requires a shuttle ride to get to and from the restaurants or common areas. Believe me. A few resorts are real big. I mean REALLY BIG. Take for instance, the Moon Palace in Cancun. This all inclusive hotel has over 2,000 rooms. Yes. TWO-THOUSAND! That is a whole lot of rooms. Granted, they have a ton of facilities and amenities, but some of you want to feel a little more secluded or even feel like you are the only ones there. Ok. I think I know of some resorts you might be looking for.

Let take a look at some resorts that feature less than 100 rooms. El Dorado Maroma in the Mayan Riviera features only 72 suites. This intimate hideaway is located on the world famous Maroma Beach, which has been voted one of the top beaches in the world. This all inclusive has its own swim-up bars, 24-hour room service, two freshwater pools, fitness center and spa and a choice of three a la carte restaurants. Choose from Asian, Italian and New Mexican cuisine in addition to other International favorites. This resort has most of the amenities of a large hotel but in a much more private setting. Don't expect a big party atmosphere but do expect some classy fun.

Sunset at the Palms in Negril, Jamaica is a tropical gem with only 65 treehouse style accommodations. This all inclusive provides a taste of Jamaican culture at an affordable price. At this hotel, you can expect cool Jamaican vibes with a taste of local cuisine. Sway to live reggae in the evenings or hit Negril beach in the morning for a dip in pristine Caribbean waters. One note here: Negril beach is actually across the road from the resort. This doesn't really pose much of a problem since they have a beach bar and grill open from 10am-6pm.

In St Lucia, the Anse Chastenet resort features sweeping views of the Caribbean, the Pitons or the lush hillside of this tropical island. Only 49 gazebo-style accommodations exist here at the Anse Chastenet. An optional all inclusive vacation package is available or you could stay here on the European Plan, where no meals or drinks are included. Award-winning cuisine ranges from French to Mediterranean to East Indian at the Anse Chastenet. The Kai Belte Spa is sure to make for a relaxing getaway. An underwater marine park is located just below the resort grounds and the scenery here is unbelievable.

Gally Bay resort in Antigua is another favorite with under 100 rooms. This all inclusive features a total of 98 rooms and suites, set amidst spectacular tropical flora. An on-property lagoon and bird sanctuary is home to swoomping pelicans, majestic frigate birds, elegant heron and a host of other avian species. Accommodations range from regular guestrooms to cottages and suites. 32 new premium suites feature luxurious furnishings, gleaming granite, and tropical art. Antigua is home to 365 beaches and this one will not dissapoint. Try a beachfront suite with ideal location to the pristine blue waters of this tropical paradise.

These are just a few of the more intimate settings for all inclusive in the Caribbean. I think this would be a great addition to our "Vacation Assistant' feature on the home page. I will have to get the tech people moving on this one :)

Til Next Time,
Tom
