Best All-Inclusive Resorts for Every Decade of Your Life

In your 20s, you likely have more of a party-focused mentality and limited savings in your bank account, making Punta Cana a fabulous choice for your all-inclusive getaway. The Dominican Republic is packed with all-inclusive resorts for all budgets and travel styles, and its easy access from major U.S. cities mean it can fit into a long weekend getaway when twenty-somethings want a break from their first post-grad job. For young travelers looking to get the most bang for their buck, without sacrificing tasty dining, top-shelf liquor, tons of fun daily activities, and nightly entertainment, the best all-inclusive resort is the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta CanaRelated Reading: Best All-Inclusive Resorts in the Caribbean for Single People

And whether you haven't had kids yet or you have little ones at home that you're looking to leave with grandma and grandpa, an adults-only all-inclusive resort provides the ideal peaceful setting. We love Cancun for its plethora of adults-centric hotels lining the beautiful Riviera Maya beaches, and one of its top options for 30 year olds is the Hyatt Zilara Cancun

In your 50s, you've put a lot of time and effort into your career and home life, so taking a relaxing and luxurious getaway is well-earned. Instead of packed vacation destinations like Mexico and the Dominican Republic, we recommend going to a more lush, undeveloped Caribbean island like St. Lucia. The country combines attractive beaches with mountainous backdrops, making it one of the most scenic spots in the Caribbean. One of the most impressive resorts in the Western Hemisphere is the hilltop Jade Mountain Resort, known for its unique suites with open fourth walls, all of which have gorgeous sea views from their canopied beds, whirlpool tubs, and (in all but the entry-level category) private infinity pools. Excellent service from dedicated butlers, all-inclusive rates covering top-notch dining, and lots of leisure and activity options put this on many a bucket list. Guests of Jade Mountain also receive free access to the beachfront Anse ChastanetCheck out our other picks for The Best Boutique All-Inclusive Resorts in the Caribbean.

Your 60s are when it's finally time to take that bucket-list vacation you've been putting off for years (and opt for business-class flying!).

Breathtaking clear blue water filled with sea life, luxurious hotel features, and swish overwater bungalows make this a dream destination for many.
