You have every right to have a stress-free vacation. An ideal vacation is free from the hassles of matching the best hotels with cheap air tickets. It should allow you to make savings even as you enjoy some time in the Caribbean sun.

All-inclusive resorts are a cheaper, hassle-free, and fun way to holiday. They help save time as everything is planned and catered for and effectively match your holiday needs with the budget. If you are planning a holiday in Jamaica, the following all-inclusive resorts are ideal.

Iberostar Rose Hall Beach

Located in Montego Bay, this beautiful, five-star resort with 366 rooms and suites has everything to make your holiday worth every bit of time, and money. Directly on the beach and designed with exquisite colonial-style architecture, its package provides meals (including room service), parking, free internet, airport transfers, pool and poolside bar, and concierge. Some of the fun activities include scuba diving, water, and beach volleyball. The Sensations spa comes with an extra charge.

The Iberostar's steakhouse and Italian restaurant are exceptional. And if you have children along, they will especially love the water park. When it comes to choosing Jamaica all-inclusive resorts, this is definitely one of the best.

Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa

Hilton is a brand that needs no introduction, and you can expect nothing but the best service. set on the legendary 18th-century Rose Hall tropical estate, some of the attractive features of this family-friendly resort with 488 stylish rooms and suites include the extremely appealing beachfront, spa, gym, room service, poolside bar, at least ten dining options, concierge, and Internet.

The check-in process here is flawless, and staff here greet you on arrival with wet towels and cocktail, and of course, some warm smiles to feel at home. The food and hospitality are top class. Families with kids will especially enjoy fun activities such as the circus, water park, kids' pool, kids' club, Jamaican night, and shows (plus kids under five stay for free!).

Franklyn D. Resort & Spa

Speaking of family appeal, this 78-suite, midrange property in Runaway Bay, east of Montego, is an old favorite that bills itself as "the ultimate family resort." Thus it offers amenities such as an onsite playground, kids' club and pool (they'll especially love the water slide!), special kids' buffet, and extensive childcare services, with nannies available for when you'd like some "adult time" with your partner. The small beach here is clean and well-protected, with refreshing evening breezes and shallow, crystal clear waters.

The FDR all-inclusive package includes free shuttle transport from the airport as well as free parking, along with Internet, four swimming pools, poolside bars, and five dining options.

There’s a beach view on all sides, and its services are quite exceptional. Amenities include 24-hour room service, a business center, a fitness center, three pools, a full-service spa, and a casino. There are also nine restaurants offering world-class cuisine, as well as and poolside bars to quench your thirst as you enjoy the cool waters.

The romantic, adults-only ambiance here is ideal for newlyweds and other couples, with perks like deep-soaking bathtubs, a gazebo. It's also popular for destination weddings, on the beach or in a lovely gazebo surrounded by the Caribbean. It's also right alongside sister property, also 350-unit Secrets Wild Orchid Montego Bay, with which it shares most facilities,

I've experienced Secrets St. James Montego Bay for a destination wedding I planned and can concur it was 5 star-plus.

And of course my favorite Negril all-inclusive remains as Hedonism II.

Great post.
