All Inclusive Caribbean suggestions

My husband and I visited an all inlusive this past April for the first time and already decided we want to go away again next April and to an All Inclusive. While I enjoyed our resort (Now Sapphire in Mexico) I want to try a new place.

Can anyone make suggestions for places with the following:

No restaurant reservations (this is something we loved about the Now resort)

No towel game where people are getting up at 6am and putting out their towels on the chairs. (we actually upgraded at Now as to avoid this. I don't want to deal with that)

Adults only preferred, but not a top priority (I actually found the adults to be louder than the children at the Now. haha)

Good Food. Doesn't have to be Four Seasons or Ritz quality, but good.

great beach! And waiter service on the beach.

Thanks for any suggestions!!

We went to Excellence Punta Cana, DR for our HM and it was all inclusive and amazing! The restaurants were great, the beaches were beautiful and the workers are all awesome. For a few hundred (I think) more, you can opt to be in Club Excellence and it's like VIP. There's a separate private beach and a lounge area in the hotel with free breakfast/lunch/dinner every day.

Thanks for the suggestion! I have looked into that resort. it looks amazing and is def on my list!! I just want to try to find one where all the room categories get the same service incase we book too close and there are no more rooms in the preferred sections.

We went to the Now Larimar in Punta Cana, the resort had a lot of people there but we never once had to fight for a chair.

Kids were allowed but you never noticed them, it was a very very quiet resort. DH & I loved it there, we just got back a couple of weeks ago.

We enjoyed the Now as well. Our resort was beautiful!

We went to Couples Negril and it has everything you listed. They "suggested" reservations for their top restaurants but I'm sure you could get in without. It wasn't really a pain for us to make those reservations though. We always had a chair at the beach when we wanted it and the food was excellent.

We stayed for a few days at Negril before moving on to Sans Souci. Don't go to Sans Souci. Towel game in full force there, beach isn't as nice, food was kinda blah.

Ugh, I got confused. We went to Couples Swept Away! Not Negril. (both are in Negril though, that's how I got confused)

Our dive boat picked up people from Couples Negril and it looked nice but CSA beach is better and bigger. Chat Icon
