    Twenty-eight destinations, and the month decides which ones work

    Our all-inclusive section covers Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Panama, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Colombia, and the Caribbean in full: Aruba, Curaçao, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Martin, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Anguilla, the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Puerto Rico, Guadeloupe and Martinique.

    What all-inclusive actually means

    The package normally covers the flight, the transfers, the room, the meals, the drinks and the entertainment. What varies from one hotel to the next is everything else: the à la carte restaurants and how they are booked, the spirits poured, the wifi, the water sports, the kids club and its age brackets. Two hotels rated the same can deliver very different weeks.

    The season matters as much as the destination

    Dry season, rainy season and hurricane season fall on different dates depending on whether you mean the Riviera Maya, the Pacific coast of Costa Rica or the Lesser Antilles. A March break week and a November week lead to different recommendations.

    The destinations we know best

    Four names come up every winter in our conversations. Mexico, with the Riviera Maya on one side and the Pacific on the other, two climates and two moods that people routinely confuse. The Dominican Republic, where Punta Cana lines up the largest resorts in the Caribbean. Jamaica, for travellers who want a country around the hotel. And Costa Rica, when the forest matters as much as the beach.

    If the hesitation is between two names rather than ten, our comparisons of Mexico and the Dominican Republic and of Punta Cana and Cancún settle it with arguments you can check. Cancún keeps its edge on flight time and sheer choice of resorts.

    The rest comes down to who is travelling. With children, start with the family all-inclusive resorts and our selection of family properties from Quebec. As a couple, start with the adults-only resorts. For a wedding, with getting married in the south. And to weigh the season against the price, with our winter sun destinations and our guide to choosing an all-inclusive hotel.

    We help you decide

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes, for every sun destination leaving Quebec. Most countries require a passport valid for the whole stay and several ask for six months of margin past your return date. Check the expiry date before you book, because a renewal in the middle of the holiday season takes weeks.
    For spring break and the Christmas holidays, the best rooms go six to ten months out. For January or April, good choices often remain two or three months ahead. Booking early is mostly about securing the room category and the resort section you want, rather than the flight date itself.
    Let us be straight about it: the rating shifts from one country to the next and from one tour operator to another. A five-star in the Dominican Republic and a five-star in Mexico do not describe the same thing. What actually compares is the number of à-la-carte restaurants, the room size, the staff-to-guest ratio and the year of the last renovation. Our guide on choosing an all-inclusive hotel lays out what we look at, and that is exactly what we check for you.
    Yes, and some resorts put real effort into it: clubs split by age, pools with controlled depth, bottle warmers in the room, a water park on site. Others simply tolerate children. Our family all-inclusive page gathers the ones that make a difference, and our piece on family all-inclusive resorts from Quebec goes further.
    It concentrates on certain coasts and shifts from week to week. Mexico's Pacific coast and several of the Lesser Antilles escape it almost entirely, while the Riviera Maya gets more of it between April and August. We follow the seasonal reports and steer you toward the right coast for your month. The detail sits in our file on sargassum in the Caribbean and Mexico.
    At the big chains' all-inclusive resorts, the water served and the ice are treated and the kitchens are inspected. Tap water still belongs nowhere near your glass or your toothbrush. The simple rule fits on one line: drink the bottled water provided, eat things hot, and leave the street stalls for the end of the stay, once your system has settled in.
    Service is included and tips are still appreciated. Bring small bills for the bellhops, the bartenders and the person who looks after your room. That detail shapes the quality of your week more than the room category does, and every regular traveller to the south will tell you the same.
    Both have excellent resorts, and the right answer depends on what you are after. Mexico opens up Mayan culture, the cenotes and a calm sea on the Caribbean side. The Dominican Republic often gives you more room square footage for the same standard, with a slightly shorter flight from Montreal. Our comparison of Mexico and the Dominican Republic puts them side by side, and Punta Cana or Cancún drills down to the two resort strips themselves.
    If you travel as a couple and you want quiet around the pool, yes. You gain calmer restaurants, closer service and a beach without flying volleyballs. Have a look at our adults-only all-inclusive packages, and both Punta Cana and Cancún hold several of them.
    In January and February, Jamaica and Costa Rica deliver on warmth more reliably than the northern Antilles. Our overview of winter sun destinations from Quebec sorts all of it by month.
    In Quebec, booking through a licence-holding agency gives you access to the Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents. In real life it looks like this: a resort closes, a flight is cancelled, a room does not match what was sold, and someone calls the tour operator on your behalf while you are still on the ground, instead of you spending the afternoon in a line at the front desk.
    Call 1 866 628-6241. You will reach someone who has walked these resorts and who has time for you. We compare the properties that suit your month, your budget and the people you are travelling with, we pick the right section and the right room category, and we stay a phone call away while you are there. That is the difference between booking alone in front of a screen and leaving with someone behind you.
