Seeking Recommendations - Caribbean All-Inclusive Resorts

Seeking Recommendations - Caribbean All-Inclusive Resorts

My wife and I are planning a tropical vacation for late March or early
April. We enjoy all-inclusive resorts to avoid the "cha-ching" sound as we
eat and drink to our hearts content.

We have vacationed before in St Thomas, Aruba and Riveria Maya. I was
thinking about Punta Cana for this years adventure. We stayed at the Riu
Palace in Riviera Maya a few years back and loved it, but I see mixed
reviews on the Riu Palace Punta Cana on Tripadvisor,com . Some friends of
mine swear by Iberostar, but their experience was in Mexico, not Punta Cana.

Any suggestions regarding your favorite Caribbean all-inclusive resort would
be greatly appreciated - either in Punta Cana or any other island.
Our priorities are: 1) Relaxation 2) Good food 3) Drinking - swim-up
bar/beach butler service 4) Snorkelling

Thanks,

Bob D.

Why not consider Costa Rica? I know it isn't an island (duh), but there are
some excellent all inclusives on the West Coast including a new
all-inclusive Hilton property and Melia Playa Conchal. Ever seen an active
volcano before?
Pura Vida,

St Lucia - Eastwinds (small; excellent food and wine)
Grenada - La Source - just re-opened I think; before hurricane damage it was
v. good; Le Sport in St Lucia would be similar.
St Lucia again - Anse Chastenet (of the ones I've mentioned this has the
best snorkelling but it is expensive; I think it does an AI option)
Anse Chastenet doesnt have a pool; Eastwinds doesnt have beach butler I dont
think, but has help yourself bar at the pool.
