For some, this summer will be filled with outdoor adventures and culturally enriching city breaks. However, for others, including myself, it’s the perfect time to sit back, relax, and indulge in some pampering. What better place to do all that than at an all-inclusive Caribbean resort? This summer, four new luxurious resorts are opening, promising to offer even the most seasoned travelers something exciting and novel.
Luxury at Riu Palace Aquarelle
Among these new openings, one resort stands out for its opulence and extensive amenities: the Riu Palace Aquarelle. Boasting 24-hour service, four outdoor pools, and 753 exquisite suites, this resort sets the bar for luxury vacations. Despite being newly opened, it has already garnered praise for its prime location, delectable cuisine, friendly staff, and spacious pools. Situated on White Bay Beach, the natural surroundings are as breathtaking as the resort itself. From child-friendly amenities to indulgent wellness retreats, this is a destination everyone should experience at least once. The average room rate is around $550 per night, reflecting the high level of service and amenities. Keep in mind, there’s a four-night minimum stay, so plan on spending at least $2000 for your visit.
Affordable Luxury at Grand Decameron Montego Beach
Another exciting new option is the Grand Decameron Montego Beach, a product of the collaboration between Wyndham and Decameron. This resort, one of three new Caribbean properties from this partnership (two of which are all-inclusive), is an ideal choice for those looking to stay near Montego Bay. Guests can enjoy a well-equipped fitness center, water sports facilities, an engaging entertainment calendar, and delicious food. The best part? You don’t have to break the bank to enjoy a luxurious stay here. With room rates averaging $223 per night, it offers excellent value. Wyndham Rewards members can also use their points, potentially reducing costs even further.
Adventure Awaits at Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach
Not far from Grand Decameron Montego Beach is another gem from the Wyndham-Decameron alliance: the Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach. Already receiving rave reviews, this resort delights guests with its coffee bar, outstanding entertainment team, stunning ocean views, and secure room safes for peace of mind during sunbathing sessions. The 146-room resort is perfect for those seeking adventure, offering kayaking, canoeing, and sailing on-site. Rooms typically cost around $350 per night, but current deals on Agoda can bring the price down to as low as $236 on certain dates. Booking early is essential to snag the best rates.
The Majestic Princess Hotels & Resorts Jamaica
Lastly, we have the much-anticipated Princess Hotels & Resorts Jamaica. Despite some conflicting reports about its location, we can confirm that this sprawling 1000-room hotel is situated on Green Island, not Negril as initially marketed. This distinction is crucial for setting realistic expectations. The resort, encompassing four different areas, 14 overwater villas, and even a casino, promises an unparalleled experience. The beaches here have been meticulously curated, ensuring stunning views throughout your stay. Room rates average $485 per night, comparable to other high-end all-inclusive resorts.
In conclusion, this summer brings a host of new luxurious options for those looking to unwind in the Caribbean. From the lavish Riu Palace Aquarelle to the adventurous Grand Decameron Cornwall Beach, there’s something for every type of traveler. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, adventure, or a mix of both, these new resorts offer the perfect setting for a memorable vacation. So, why not treat yourself to an unforgettable stay at one of these stunning destinations?
