Royalton Blue Waters is a four-pearl family-friendly all-inclusive resort that's a 10-minute drive from Falmouth. The resort’s 228 suites have modern interiors with whirlpool tubs, huge flat-screen TVs, and private ocean-view balconies. Blue Waters shares amenities with Royalton White Sands Resort next door, including a small water park. Its own dedicated amenities include an infinity pool overlooking the gorgeous beach, a lazy river pool, and free non-motorized water sports. Restaurants get positive reviews and include a buffet, steak house, Mediterranean, and gourmet Chef's Table. Other amenities include multiple bars, a full-service spa, and a kids' club that's open late. Note that lots of kids mean that it's a boisterous place. For a quieter, family-friendly resort with a gorgeous beach and delicious restaurants, it’s worth pricing out Melia Braco Village.

Tucked away in its own private corner of paradise, the Excellence Oyster Bay is one of northern Jamaica's nicest all-inclusive resorts. This luxury adults-only property, which occupies its own peninsula about 40 minutes west of Montego Bay, has an exclusive, but light-hearted vibe. From the gorgeous pool to the pristine beach and numerous dining options, the vibe is elegantly casual. Rooms are spacious and contemporary, and feature spacious terraces, plus private jetted tubs, plunge pools, or beach views in most. There's also a full gym with cutting-edge equipment, plus a beautiful spa featuring a beautiful hydrotherapy circuit. A stay here isn't cheap, but its easily one of the poshest spots in Trelawny Parish or Montego Bay. The only real competitor around is the Royalton Blue Waters, though it lacks the same secluded atmosphere.

Mangos Jamaica is a three-pearl, adult-only all-inclusive resort with a gorgeous oceanfront near Falmouth. Its 96 guest rooms blend rustic and modern touches.

The budget, family-run Falmouth Heights Motor Lodge sits on four acres of peaceful grounds. It's a short walk to Falmouth Heights Beach and the ferry for Martha's Vineyard, and a 20-minute walk (or five-minute drive) to Falmouth's Main Street. Its 28 rooms are housed in six separate buildings, and they include air-conditioning, microwaves, mini-fridges, and flat-screen TVs. Options include stand-alone cottages or spacious rooms with kitchenettes and sleeper sofas, but bathrooms can be small. An outdoor pool, shaded picnic area with a gas grill for barbecuing, free continental breakfast, and coin-operated laundry add to its value. It's a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers in a pricey area, but be aware that the hotel closes in the winter. Travelers could also consider the Surfcomber on the Ocean in South Yarmouth, which has a private beach at similar rates.

Situated on a sleepy residential street in Falmouth, the Green Harbor Waterfront Lodging is a simple and homey value motel. Although it’s clearly dated, the property is clean, well-maintained, and a solid choice for travelers looking for budget-friendly beachfront accommodations on the Cape. All 37 rooms feature a solid list of amenities -- including free Wi-Fi, refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, and shared water-view balconies or porches -- just don't expect too much in the way of modern style. Some rooms have full kitchens, and a stand-alone cottage is available. The beach here sits along a tranquil inlet, not the ocean, and the lack of attractions within walking distance may also disappoint some travelers. For a two-pearl alternative, the nearby Tides Motel of Falmouth offers similar amenities in a proper beachfront setting.

This former manor house is a mid-range, family-run property with one of the finest settings on the Cornish coast. Close to nine acres of gardens are filled with exotic and sub-tropical flora, sloping down to a lovely secluded cove. Ugly '60s add-ons, however, do blight the otherwise charming 19th-century architecture. Most of the hotel's 29 rooms and suites have been updated with bright, fresh decor and also feature views over the pretty grounds. Dining is also a highlight, offering an excellent all-day menu sourced from local produce, plus breakfast is always included. While those looking for relaxation or leisure facilities should look elsewhere -- the St Michael's Hotel in nearby Falmouth has a fine spa -- nature lovers seeking lush and secluded surroundings will be pleased with the Meudon.

Debuting in late 2013, the 352-room Royalton White Sands Resort is an stylish all-inclusive in Trelawny, 30 minutes from Montego Bay. Rooms come with comfy pillow-top beds, mini-fridges, private patios, and large rainfall shower heads. Unfortunately, they also contain hip but cheap decor and many are already starting to show wear and tear. This upscale resort has multiple bars and restaurants (including a delicious jerk hut), large hydrotherapy spa, family-friendly features, two pools (one with swim-up bar), and a water park, though, some may be disappointed with the late-night bar options and limited beachfront. The Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa, by comparison, has a private and immaculate beach that's divided into several smaller beaches.

Located on a quiet, private beach in southwestern Cape Cod, Tides Motel of Falmouth provides guests with value digs right on Vineyard Sound. While its design recalls the area’s '50s- and '60s-era motels, the property has a simple aesthetic that blends vintage cool with some slightly dated -- but well kept -- design elements. This two-pearl hotel offers only the most essential amenities and little else. Each of its 29 rooms is clean and comes with free Wi-Fi, modest flat-screen TVs, and mini-fridges or kitchenettes. While clearly targeting budget travelers seeking an affordable beachfront stay, the lack of a pool, restaurant, or any other common features is noteworthy. Surfcomber on the Ocean, in Yarmouth, offers more amenities in a comparably priced, beachfront package.

The Greenbank Hotel is an upscale, harbor-front hotel about a 10-minute walk from the heart of Falmouth. This area institution dates back to the 1600s and it still attracts locals to it's casual Working Boat Pub and classy Water's Edge restaurant and lounge, with panoramic harbor views. The hotel's 61 guest rooms are individually decorated with fresh, contemporary decor and, often, impressive views, but a few key amenities are missing, like AC, and mini-fridges or minibars. The hotel offers 24-hour room service, half-board meal plans, a spa treatment room, and free parking for cars and boats, but there are no wellness facilities. For guests who'd prefer a pool, gym, or easy beach access, the St Michael's Hotel & Spa fits the bill, though it lacks the historic charm of Greenbank.
