Hermitage Bay - Antigua

"Hermitage Bay, a true barefoot luxury all-inclusive resort, has 25 cottages nestled in 16 acres of lush tropical gardens and fronted by a gorgeous beach. The resort provides informal dining where every meal feels privately catered to the guest’s specifications and desires. Don’t miss out on the Garden Spa, where the treatments are influenced by the ancient Eastern concept of chakra." -- Anthony Melchiorri, Hotel Fixer, Hotel Impossible

Beaches - Turks and Caicos

"The all-inclusive Beaches resort is the perfect destination for a fun-filled family beach vacation, with endless distractions for kids of all ages. Tots, tweens and teens can enjoy fun games with Sesame Street characters, 'Sizzlin' teen disco and the Pirates Island Waterpark. Adults can relax at Red Lane Spa and enjoy sumptuous meals at the resort’s 19 restaurants." -- Anthony Melchiorri, Hotel Fixer, Hotel Impossible

Amanyara - Turks and Caicos

"This resort won my wife and me over with its attention to detail, great food choices and access to a variety of activities. Amanyara was the perfect choice for our wedding and for a recent 24-hour retreat from the kids. Couples can indulge in a spa day or a private dinner on the beach. We loved returning to our room each night to discover the small, thoughtful gift the Aman team left for us during the turndown service." -- Shane Green, Hospitality Consultant

Hayman Island - Great Barrier Reef, Australia

"Hayman Island provides access to a variety of wildlife, including exotic fish, a 400-pound grouper named 'Jacko,' wallabies and kookaburras. Hayman provides the perfect combination of activities and indulgences for both water sports enthusiasts and foodies like me. Visitors should not miss the chef’s table or the private dining events hosted under the stars by world-class winemakers and chefs. This island retreat holds a special place in our hearts, as we lived here for 2 years, overseeing the reimagination of the resort." -- Shane Green, Hospitality Consultant

Howie's Homestay - Chiang Mai, Thailand

"At Howie's Homestayin Chiang Mai, guests check into a house with exquisite gardens and antique-filled rooms that has been featured in Architectural Digest. The owners, an American expat and his Thai wife, tailor the experience to your interests based on their insider knowledge, taking you on elephant treks, temple visits and shopping expeditions or leaving you to lounge by the pool as you like. Only one group, family or couple can book at a time, so the house is truly a luxury hideout of your own in Southeast Asia." -- Melissa Biggs Bradley, Founder of Indagare.com

Mii amo Spa - Sedona, Arizona

"My favorite American spa is really better described as a 16-suite wellness resort because you can pursue whatever kind of ‘well-balance’ you are looking for -- whether that is based on losing weight, getting fit, reducing stress, reconnecting with nature, bonding with friends or kick-starting a healthier lifestyle. The 3-, 4- and 7-day programs include both group classes like cooking, tennis and yoga, as well as personalized services such as facials, massages and psychic healing." -- Melissa Biggs Bradley, Founder of Indagare.com

NIZUC Resort and Spa - Cancun, Mexico

"Nizuc Resort has been the most luxurious resort in Cancun since it opened in September 2013. There are 274 rooms, suites and villas, many of which come equipped with private infinity pools. Within the resort complex, there are 6 high-end restaurants, the gorgeous indoor/outdoor ESPA spa with a detoxifying hydrotherapy circuit, a secluded beach and plenty of privacy. The resort -- tucked within lush foliage along a stretch of mangroves and beach -- offers a terrific all-inclusive Endless Indulgence package." -- Jimmy Im, Travel Personality

Travaasa Hana - Maui, Hawaii

"Acquired by new owners in 2011, Travaasa became the first resort in Maui to offer an all-inclusive package, which includes fitness classes. It's not common to find all-inclusive hotels in Hawaii -- so I love it here. This hotel has rustic cottages (no TVs or clocks) and a spa with an outdoor lava-rock whirlpool. In addition to its cool, retro Hawaii décor, Travaasa provides unique experiences for its guest. Where else can you do yoga in the morning while humpback whales do a backflip in the distance right before your eyes?" -- Jimmy Im, Travel Personality

Grand Resort and Spa - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

"Experience the relaxing atmosphere of gay-owned-and-operated Grand Resort and Spa. In addition to its spacious rooms, this resort provides guests with a variety of amenities, including an oversized heated pool for swimming laps, a fitness center, an award-winning spa and a courtyard for nude sunbathing. Splurge on 1 of their 5 all-inclusive packages, like the Romance by the Sea Package, which provides 2 lucky lovers with champagne/wine upon arrival, a choice of 50-minute couples’ massage and more." -- Kwin Mosby, Managing Producer, Travel Channel

ME Cancun - Cancun, Mexico

"ME Cancun is an adult-oriented luxury resort that only allows guests to book accommodations as a ‘complete experience’ package. This resort’s 417 rooms all have breathtaking ocean or sunset lagoon views. All-inclusive services and facilities include 2 adults-only pools, a 24/7 fitness center, an E-space with library, the Beach Club, a world-class YHI Spa and more. All food, drinks, entertainment and activities are included in the price you pay." -- Kwin Mosby, Managing Producer, Travel Channel

Sandals Grande Antigua

We have a fan favorite winner and it’s… Sandals Grande Antigua! Our fans voted for this romantic resort as their pick because it offers guests the best of 2 worlds -- the authentic seaside Caribbean Grove and the 6-star, all-suite Mediterranean Village -- in one all-inclusive vacation. In addition to its great location on Antigua’s best beach (Dickenson Bay), this Sandals resort has 7 bars serving premium liquors, 11 specialty restaurants, butler service, 6 pools and the award-winning Red Lane spa. We clearly understand why this resort won your vote.
