Top 3 Couples’ Resort Getaways for Every Budget

Easy and breezy, there’s nothing more relaxing than an all-inclusive resort vacation if you’re after a romantic couples’ getaway. There’s only one problem … with thousands of resorts scattered across Mexico and the Caribbean, how do you find your perfect pick?

We’re giving you a head start with three of our favorite all-inclusives out there—our clients consistently rave about these properties! Plus, we’ve got a pick for three different price points, so no matter what you’re looking to spend you can check in some place fabulous.

Budget pick: Riu Palace Kukulkan

This oceanfront beauty in Cancun’s hotel zone gives you a lot of bang for your buck. The Riu property features four pools—one with a swim-up bar—and of course, a gorgeous beach right out front. In fact, your vacation dollar stretches especially far at Riu, since if you stay here you get access to all the Riu properties in the Cancun area (within a three-mile radius).

It’s also a fairly new property, having only opened in 2022. Enjoy spacious suites (many with ocean views), a variety of still-shiny restaurants, and theme parties that will keep you moving all night long.

Premium pick: Secrets Tides Punta Cana

This elevated Secrets property in the Dominican Republic just opened in January 2024—and it’s already earning a reputation for excellence. Super clean with perfectly powdery sand on a gorgeous stretch of Punta Cana beach, this Secrets is the place to be for a relaxing, refined resort experience (as opposed to raucous partying).

In addition to the pristine beach, you can dive into three pools (two of which are expansive infinity pools) and enjoy sipping on your drink of choice at the swim-up bars. Even though the property boasts more than 600 rooms, it still feels easy to navigate—in fact, the resort was crafted to evoke an upscale residential community. Upgrade to a Preferred Club swim-out suite for the ultimate pool experience.

Luxury pick: Impression Moxché by Secrets

Your stay at this sumptuous property in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, starts with a complimentary bottle of top-shelf tequila or rum upon arrival—and it only gets better from there. This property is all about giving guests plenty of privacy and space; the suites start at nearly 1,000 square feet! In fact, there are fewer than 200 suites total at the resort. If you truly want to get away from it all—including crowds— Impression Moxché delivers.

The resort boasts a modern, streamlined vibe with a touch of tropical details and soothing natural accents. The crown jewel just might be the rooftop pool, which features an infinity edge and is ringed with palm trees; the views up here are just to die for. Plus, you’re only a five-minute drive from the famous shopping street, Quinta Avenida. Stroll the boutiques—if you can tear yourself away from the tranquil beach.
