CHOOSING THE Caribbean’s best all inclusive resorts is a bit like choosing a list of its best restaurants — it simply begs for a definition. And the definition of “all-inclusive” has changed a lot over the years. All-inclusive properties have evolved to the point where they fit into a number of very distinct categories — you might go to one for an eco experience; to another for a couples experience, another for a family experience and another for world-class luxury (and we’ll be doing rankings of those categories as well in the near future, of course). Today, the sheer variety of the Caribbean’s all-inclusive properties means you have the ability completely frame the kind of experience you want. Here is our list of the Caribbean’s 10 best for 2013.

Galley Bay, Antigua

The oceanfront Galley Bay resort is a great getaway for couples. And on an island with 365 beaches, one of the nicest is just out your doorstep.
