Cocobay in Antigua.

Antigua In recent years, Antigua has quietly become a hub of terrific all-inclusive hotels, most of which are a far cry from the mostly sprawling all-inclusives you’ll find in the rest of the region. You’ll find on this island smaller, lower-density retreats with an emphasis on authenticity. But what you don’t lose is the comfort and the easiness. The experiences range from dreamy stays at properties like the legendary Galley Bay to rustic-chic retreats at Cocobay to the throwback beach getaway at the Pineapple Beach Club to an elegant, clubby (and very family-friendly) all-inclusive vacation at Curtain Bluff. Antigua isn’t always thought of as an all-inclusive destination — but that’s what makes it so wonderful.
