One way to ensure a TRULY relaxing vacation is to head to an all-inclusive resort where you don't have to reach for your credit card every time you want a cocktail or burger with fries. And if you really want to up the relaxing vibe of a vacation, limit the possibility of kids running around the property or splashing in the pool by booking an adults-only stay. We've summarized our favorite adult only resorts below that let you cut loose!

The Caves, Jamaica

Arguably Jamaica's most romantic escape, the Caves' 12 unique, private cottages and suites are tucked along lush garden paths and dramatic seaside cliffs (there's no beach). High-quality, locally focused cuisine, a top-shelf bar, and intimate, incredibly attentive service make it Jamaica's best all-inclusive. From the moment they arrive, guests are welcomed with the resort’s signature cocktail, the Cliffhanger, and for the remainder of their stay they’re free to indulge in one of Jamaica’s best all-inclusive liquor selections. Rick's Cafe is close by, so if you're feeling a little adventurous, take the famous cliff jump! 

Club Med Turkoise, Turks & Caicos 

As the island's first resort, the 290-room, mid-range Club Med Turkoise has lost a bit of its original sex appeal. But even though its small rooms (with no balconies) are slightly dated, and have begun to show some signs of wear and tear, the hotel's bar still throws some of the island's liveliest parties. The village-sized property stays packed, thanks to the stretch of pristine beach just off the back of the hotel, the nightly live entertainment, and the huge variety of water and land activities offered (including trapeze sessions and scuba diving). All food and drinks are included in the all-inclusive rates.

Zoetry Paraiso, Mayan Riviera

With only 90 suites, the Zoetry Paraiso offers a romantic boutique experience in the Mayan Riviera. The pool area and beach are relaxed with double-wide lounge chairs (perfect for couples), and the on-site dining keeps the resort's wellness theme alive with delicious, healthy meals. Included amenities not standard at most all-inclusive resorts -- such as "welcome" bottles of tequila, daily bottles of champagne, one-hour Catamaran sunset sails, three-times-daily maid service, and private chauffeured airport transfers -- make this resort a standout among Puerto Morelos' finest properties (though expect the price to reflect that).

Couples Tower Isle, Jamaica

One of the island’s first resorts and a former playground for 1950s Hollywood A-listers, this 226-room, 19-acre Ocho Rios all-inclusive is still a sophisticated option. The pools are also unexceptional, though they do have ocean views, and one has a swim-up bar. The gorgeous spa, robust all-inclusive offering, beachfront location, and mellow vibe are the highlights here. Of particular note is Couples’ all-inclusive booze policy, which includes top-shelf liquors in addition to the usual beer, wine, and rum punch.

El Dorado Seaside Suites, Mexico  

El Dorado Seaside Suites is an all-inclusive, adults-only resort located on a secluded beach halfway between Playa del Carmen and the famous Mayan ruins of Tulum. There are many spots here to relax, including three pools and a total of 12 restaurants and bars. The spacious suites have whirlpools big enough for two, terraces or balconies, and flat-screen TVs with DVD players.

Galley Bay Resort & Spa, Antiqua 

The relaxed, tranquil environment of the Galley Bay boutique resort is a major part of its appeal. This isn't Antigua's fanciest property, but it doesn't need to be: simple Caribbean style (picture thatched roofs, stone, and rattan), a truly gorgeous beach, and all-inclusive food that's better than average for the island make for a winning combo. All meals, alcoholic beverages, and water sports are included in the rate. Minibar drinks are included -- until the minibar has to be refilled.

Iberostar Grand Resort, Jamaica

The best of the three Iberostar resorts in Montego Bay, this 295-room all-suite hotel is light years beyond its neighbors in terms of decor, food, and features. While some elements remain shared with the lesser Iberostar Rose Hall Beach and Iberostar Rose Hall Suites -- for instance, the spa, fitness center, casino, nightclub, and shops -- guests at Iberostar Grand Hotel Rose Hall get the pick of the litter with free access to all three resorts’ restaurants, bars, pools, and beaches. All meals (including specialty restaurants and room service), drinks, and non-motorized water sports are covered in the rates.

Excellence, Riviera Cancun

This adults-only resort lives up to the Excellence name, offering the standard amenities of the luxury chain: multiple attractive pools, dozens of activities like snorkeling or private yacht excursions, and a solid spa with beachside treatment huts. A big pro of the property are the 8 restaurants and 10 bars, which don't require reservations. 

Casa Velas, Puerto Vallarta

There are neighborhoods in Puerto Vallarta that feel like Palm Springs or Beverly Hills, and the Casa Velas inhabits one of them. Lush, manicured gardens and streets, high-priced, terra cotta tile-roofed houses and condos, and the green grass of a well-tended golf course define the locale. The 80-room adults-only hotel is perfectly situated amidst this quiet luxury. For dining, options include gourmet Mexican cuisine at Emiliano and Asian fare at the Ocean Club, or 24-hour room service. There are two bars and premium liquor is served at both. 

Desire Pearl, Puerto Morelos

The Desire Pearl is a couples-only, clothing-optional, all-inclusive resort located on a beautiful white-sand beach right outside quiet Puerto Morelos. It draws a range of young and middle-aged couples (strictly heterosexual) looking for some adult fun in the sun. For dining, options are more limited than at other nearby resorts, but the food is more than decent and reservations aren't required. Drinks are included in the all-inclusive package, and guests can grab a cocktail from the lobby bar, two swim-up bars, or the racy nightclub that opens after dinner. In addition to a welcome drink, snacks are available throughout the day, and the minibar gets restocked daily -- but room service is not included.

Secrets Silversands, Riviera Cancun

With a minimum guest age of 18, the 433-room Secrets Silversands Riviera allows anyone looking for a romantic getaway to book without fear of rambunctious kids or noisy families. The beach is smaller and rockier than the ones at many hotels in Cancun, but the incredible pools that sprawl the entire property offer ample swimming space. There are nine dining options and eight bars on-site, and premium wines, beers, and other top-shelf beverages are included in the rates.

Princess Resorts, Punta Cana
Out of the four Princess properties in Punta Cana, this 263-room all-inclusive is the pricier, adults-only option. Sometimes the resort can feel like an adult party, especially considering the afternoon pool scene, lobby entertainment, and 24-hour beach bar. Those looking for a quieter experience can hit the beach, snag a day bed and have drinks delivered from a server.
