Top 10 All-Inclusive Spring Break Resorts
For some people, the term "all-inclusive" conjures images of rum-chugging college students and bland buffets. But all-inclusive resorts can be so much more: You can find top-shelf liquor, tasty cuisine, white-sand beaches and water sports in whatever atmosphere you prefer, from sophisticated and couples-oriented to party-hearty fun. Take a look at our top 10 all-inclusive picks for spring break this year.

Majestic Elegance
Dominican Republic
Opened in late 2008, the 597-room Majestic is newer, cleaner and more modern than most all-inclusive resorts in DR. Its giant pool, soft-sand beach, great beds, Jacuzzis in every room, and brand-name liquor put it a notch above the competition.

The Caves
Jamaica
Arguably Jamaica's most romantic escape, the Caves' 12 unique, private cottages and suites -- as well as one 4-room villa -- are tucked along lush garden paths and dramatic seaside cliffs. High-quality, locally focused cuisine, a top-shelf bar and intimate, incredibly attentive service make it Jamaica's best all-inclusive resort.
