Five of the best: All-inclusive resorts
El Dorado Royale, Mexico
This adult-only resort offers gourmet à la carte dining in 10 restaurants, 13 pools, a daily entertainment programme, beach butler service, stunning beach-front casitas and all-inclusive drinks. Spa treatments and motorised watersports are the only additional charges.
Polynesia Hotel, Spain
A great family option, the hotel will keep kids entertained with rope-swing bridges, a waterfall and massive palm trees. The 4-star themed resort has a spa with hot tubs and rain showers, and a 'Mini Monoi Spa' where kids can splash about. The all-inclusive dining offers a choice of Far East and Polynesian restaurants along with the more traditional buffet.
Turtle Island, Fiji
Once the location of the film Blue Lagoon, the Fijian island was converted into a luxury resort with traditional thatched huts, tropical gardens and, of course, blue lagoon. From private-beach picnics, scuba-diving, horse riding and deep-sea fishing, to gourmet food and island cocktails, this romantic resort provides it all without extra charges.
Bolongo Bay Beach Resort, US Virgin Islands
Nestled on a palm-lined beach, the resort offers great value with complimentary use of watersports, sailboats, kayaks, windsurf boards and snorkel equipment, while restaurants serve up eclectic Caribbean and continental cuisine, including mouth-watering culinary treats like lobster, fresh seafood and filet mignon at no additional cost.
The Cove Retreat, Kenya
Set on a stretch of Indian Ocean coastline, The Cove Retreat's luxury villas and quirky treehouse accommodation offer stunning panoramas. The suites are serviced by a personal chef who prepares daily meals in the villa, on the patios or outside the suite rooms.
