Jamaica:
...is home-base for two major AI chains, Breezes and Sandals. Beaches is the family brand of Sandals, with several properties in Jamaica including one with a new waterpark. Meanwhile, Breezes has Starfish: value-priced and lots of fun. Franklyn D. Resort deserves a mention because each family gets their own vacation nanny.

See these and more all-inclusives resorts in Jamaica.

Dominican Republic: the DR is hot, for all-inclusive resorts at a good price point. See AI's in the DR.

St. Lucia: this scenic island has several new all-inclusives. See St. Lucia Resorts.

Other Caribbean Islands: AI's are not common on every island. Beaches has a top property on Turks and Caicos; Breezes Curacao welcomes families, often with big discounts; and in the US Virgin Islands, Wyndham Sugar Bay is an AI on St. Thomas.

Other resorts may offer inclusive plans of various sorts: such as meals included, meals plus certain activities...

See more Caribbean all-inclusive resorts.

Mexico, meanwhile, offers numerous all-inclusive resorts in many areas. For example:

• Cancun
• Riviera Maya
• Los Cabos

Hawaii: one place you won't find all-inclusive resorts is the Aloha state. See Nearly All-inclusive in Hawaii for tips.

And finally: a number of AI's can be found in the US. Club Med Sandpiper is a Caribbean-style all-inclusive resort right in Florida. (No beach, but good watersports on a river; and a sandy beach zone.) Club Med also has Crested Butte in Colorado: and AI ski resort. The Northeast has Tyler Place and Rocking Horse Ranch... Dude ranches and various lodges are basically AI, too.
