All-Inclusive Resorts in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico's all-inclusive resorts are few and far between

Seeking Luxury

Travelers looking to spend some time in Puerto Rico have plenty of accommodation options, but one option is extremely limited: the all-inclusive resort. While the all-inclusive resort is one of the most popular options on other islands like Jamaica, the opposite is true in Puerto Rico. However, interested visitors can still find one all-inclusive option.

Many vacationers feel that all-inclusive resorts are a great deal. After all, you pay one set price for all of your food and entertainment, so you know exactly how much to budget for that portion of the trip before you even leave home. It's a weight off many traveler's shoulders, and helps to take away some of the pressure of pre-vacation planning. However, vacationers should keep in mind that each resort has different definitions of  "all inclusive." Check with the individual resort to see what they include in their price.

Others feel that all of the in-resort activities and meals detract from the experience of visiting a Caribbean island. With so many other tourists and planned activities, all-inclusives make some people feel that they are actually missing out on something. Getting a true taste of Puerto Rican culture would certainly be more difficult without stepping outside of the resort's confines. Likewise, the resort's menu would probably have little local flair.

Currently, Puerto Rico's only resort to offer an all-inclusive package is the Copamarina Beach Resort and Spa in Guanica.  The Copamarina is situated on 20 acres of land in front of a half mile of beach along the Caribbean sea.  This resort offers both all-inclusive prices, as well as regular room rates.  The all-inclusive package begins at $398 (USD) per person, per night, and includes three meals a day, unlimited juice, soft drinks, house wine, and international alcoholic beverages during regular bar hours, as well as all non-motorized water sports.  Unlike many all-inclusive packages, gratuities are not included in this price.  Those who generally oppose all-inclusive resorts may find the Copamarina a little more to their liking.  Because this resorts package only includes the price of the room and meals, guests are more likely to leave resort grounds to explore Puerto Rico's sites and attractions. 

Visitors looking to stay in luxurious surroundings in Puerto Rico often find it a little easier to find such accommodations in a resort that is not all-inclusive. However, there are all kinds of lodgings in Puerto Rico, and it is up to you to make your final decision.
