Incredible food and drinks, limitless activities, comfortable guestrooms and days where your biggest decision is whether to hit the pool or the beach — sound like heaven? Good news, you and your entire pod can have it all at family all-inclusive resorts. In addition to amazing vacation memories, these all-star properties in dreamy destinations offer:

Reason #1: Stress-free everything

Let’s face it — daily life is stressful enough, so that’s the last thing your family vacation should be. When it comes to group getaways, all-inclusive resorts take the cake for two reasons: 1) they remove the hassle from planning; 2) they take care of everything in a single click: your food, drinks, on-site activities and rooms are bundled into one rate. This one-and-done approach is especially handy when booking a trip to a destination you’ve never visited.

Of course, you’ll want to set aside a budget to investigate off-property tours and excursions. But even then, you won’t have to plan: Your concierge can make great, family-friendly recommendations for you to make memories together.

Reason #2: Limitless meals, limitless flavors

Leave the cooking and sinks full of dishes behind. Family all-inclusive resorts are ideal for parents with picky eaters (and big eaters, for that matter), as dozens of restaurant options to choose from mean even the choosiest kids are sure to find something they’ll like.

Case in point: You can feast — quite literally! — at 12 different dining spots at Hilton Cancún, an All-Inclusive Resort. Taste your way across Mexico at Maxal; fill up on wood-fired pizza at La Luce; or savor tacos al fresco at Maxal Taqueria. Spots like La Churrería (an all-you-can-eat ice cream and churro shop) may be geared toward kids, but they’ll be a hit with the whole family. And if the gang can’t agree, there’s always Vela, an international buffet restaurant with a smorgasbord of options. You always have the choice of room service, too, and it’s included with your stay.

Oh, and don’t forget to grab extra snacks for the kids from the buffet before heading out for the day. This way, you aren’t losing precious beach time running back and forth to the cafe when hunger (or hanger) strikes.

Reason #3: Something for every age

With packed rosters of on-resort activities announced daily and regular activities and amenities free to guests, free time at an all-inclusive family resort takes on a whole new meaning of fun.

At Mangrove Beach Corendon Curaçao All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton, here’s just a taste of what’s possible: Kids can stay busy splashing on the six waterslides within Aqua Park; all ages can join in on beach volleyball, table tennis, boccia, shuffleboard, and classes like hip-hop or Zumba, snorkeling or other non-motorized water sports. And for some “me” time without detracting from the kids’ fun, know that family all-inclusive resorts offer supervised kids’ and teens’ clubs included with your stay to keep them happy and entertained while you sink into vacation mode.

Reason #4: Unbeatable pools and beaches

When you first arrive, have the all-inclusive resort team give you a tour of the swimming pools and beach areas to get a sense of which ones will be best for your family’s needs — there is usually a wide range of options to keep everyone in your group happy.

Take Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa in Jamaica, for instance, where you can take in ocean views from the 2,500 feet of white sand beachfront exclusively for resort guests or hit the main pool (there are two, after all) for equally incredible views. If it’s lounging you’re after, enjoy a frozen drink delivered by a poolside concierge to your deluxe cabana. You sip, while the kids have the time of their lives drifting down the lazy river or flying down waterslides at Sugar Mill Falls Water Park. It’s the second largest water park in the Caribbean. Come back together for dinner in the evening, where everyone can share details of their day in paradise.

For optimal relaxation, try to arrive at the pool areas when they first open so you can easily grab the spots that work best for your family.
