Peter Greenberg: Age Diversity at Resorts

We have been devout Sandals Resort-goers, with 45 nights under our belts. It seems that each time we go, the clientele seems to be getting younger! Can you recommend another all-inclusive in the Caribbean with the same high standards, but perhaps a better mix of youth and maturity?

There are definitely all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean that may be able to give you more of the atmosphere you are looking for. A good way to ensure that the clientele is a bit older is to search for adults-only all-inclusive resorts.

The Jamaica Inn is an adult resort located in a cove on a bay in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The broad reef in this bay protects the resort's water and beach. With 47 suites overlooking a private beach, it's no wonder that Travel & Leisure called it #1 in Jamaica and #3 in the entire Caribbean, while Conde Nast Traveler voted it a 'Reader's Choice' for #1 in Jamaica and #6 in the Caribbean.

However, you may be interested in something a little bigger with more amenities to cater to a larger amount of people. The Excellence Punta Cana is located in the Dominican Republic and offers seven different restaurants, 10 bars, two pools, and 452 rooms. In fact, the Excellence Resorts, which cater to couples, might be a good choice for you to try out as they have locations all over the Caribbean.
