The best all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean

"Here's the thing: all-inclusive holidays have never been so in demand, with more and more of us seeking a slick and smart hotel that doesn't make us feel too frugal to order one more piña colada. During the summer months, it's the best all-inclusive resorts in Europe that see an influx of visitors, from couples and groups of friends to those travelling with kids."

"But for anyone wanting some winter sun, nothing beats a far-flung Caribbean getaway, and there's a new breed of hotspots, where empty beaches, sweeping suites and chic hangouts await, washed down with unlimited just-caught lobster and as much house Champagne as you can quaff. Forget queues for the tepid buffet and naff entertainment, from Antigua to St Vincent and the Grenadines, St Lucia to Jamaica, these are the best all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean."
