These Are the Best Marriott Luxury All-Inclusive Resorts in the Caribbean
You arrive to the sound of soft waves lapping against the beach, a chilled welcome drink in hand, and the unmistakable sense that everything has been taken care of. This isn’t just vacation—it’s the new era of luxury all-inclusive travel, and Marriott is one of the brands leading the charge.
All-Inclusive by Marriott Bonvoy has been rapidly expanding its presence in the all-inclusive world, now with more than 30 resorts across the Caribbean and Latin America. But beyond the ease and indulgence of unlimited dining and curated experiences, a new tier has emerged: luxury all-inclusive.
These aren’t your typical resorts. From cliffside suites in Punta Cana to oceanfront serenity on Isla Mujeres, Marriott’s latest adults-only retreats are crafted for travelers who want refined experiences with zero hassle. Here are the best of the bunch right now, including one that’s about to open next month.
Sanctuary Cap Cana, Dominican Republic
Perched on a cliff above a mile of powder‑white sand, Sanctuary Cap Cana blends colonial‑style romance with all‑inclusive ease. Just 15 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport, this 324‑suite haven is set within Cap Cana’s 30,000‑acre private community. Guests feast at four à‑la‑carte restaurants, sip cocktails across seven bars (including a swim‑up bar), and choose from six pools plus a salt‑water pool—all included in your stay.
Villa and Castle–suite travelers get dedicated butler service, welcome champagne, luggage packing/unpacking, and shoe shining as part of VIP Amenities. What do we love the most? The swim-up rooms, by far, some of our favorites in the Caribbean.
Almare, Isla Mujeres, Mexico
Imagine a lightly breezy beachfront sanctuary where natural materials and local design come together—Almare does exactly that. Nestled on Isla Mujeres and reachable via a short ferry from Cancun, this adults‑only property offers 105 modern rooms and suites with private outdoor terraces overlooking the Caribbean. Culinary choices span five venues—Mediterranean at Seasalt, Mexican at BOGA, pub fare at AlVento, coffee at Botanik, plus a casual concept at AlPaso—and all breakfasts (American, Continental, hot) are included. Outdoor adventures like snorkeling the near‑by reef, eco‑fishing trips, and mind‑body sessions connect you with the island’s rich natural beauty.
But the biggest story here is not the resort – it’s the charming, stunning little island of Isla Mujeres, where you ride around in a golf cart and forget about the rest of the world.
Paraiso de la Bonita, Riviera Maya, Mexico
Set between a mangrove preserve and crystalline Caribbean waters, Paraiso de la Bonita is an intimate adults‑only retreat a short trip from Cancun Airport. Its 100 oceanfront suites each have two balconies or terraces, complimentary Wi‑Fi and 24‑hour suite service. Guests unwind on pristine white sands, indulge in spa treatments (in‑suite until the main spa opens later this summer), and immerse yourself regionally inspired all‑inclusive dining. There’s complimentary parking and free in‑room internet for Bonvoy members make arrival. In its prior life, this was one of our favorite stays in the Caribbean: now as a Marriott, it’s even better.
W Punta Cana Adults-Only All-Inclusive
W Punta Cana is designed to be more than just a place to stay; it’s an experience. With 340 guestrooms and suites, guests can expect modern amenities, private balconies, and options like swim-up access or plunge pools. If the biggest trend in travel right now is a drive for experiences, then this resort fits right in, in keeping with the active spirit of the W brand.
The resort’s architecture and interior design get their inspiration from the natural beauty and culture of the Dominican Republic, creating what we expect to be a vibrant and inviting atmosphere. It’s the first-ever all-inclusive W hotel, well, anywhere in the world, it’s an exciting addition to the all-inclusive landscape and it’s a sign of the growing import of all-inclusive (there’s even a speakeasy).
