Cheap All-Inclusive Vacations: 20 Resorts Under $150 Per Person Per Night

All-inclusive resorts eliminate the biggest source of vacation budget anxiety: the creeping costs of meals, drinks, and activities that can double the price of a trip. When everything is included, you know exactly what you are spending before you leave home.

But "all-inclusive" does not have to mean "all-expensive." Across Mexico, the Caribbean, Turkey, and Egypt, dozens of quality resorts offer genuine all-inclusive packages for under $150 per person per night -- and some for under $80. The key is knowing which resorts deliver real value and which ones cut corners that make the savings not worth it.

This guide covers 20 specific resorts across five regions, with real per-person nightly costs, what is included, and honest assessments of what you get for your money.

How We Selected These Resorts

Every resort on this list meets these criteria:

Under $150 per person per night in at least one booking window (shoulder or low season)
Minimum 3.5-star rating on TripAdvisor or Booking.com (based on 500+ reviews)
Genuinely all-inclusive: Meals, snacks, domestic drinks, basic activities, and entertainment included
No hidden mandatory fees that inflate the real cost

Prices are per person, per night, based on double occupancy. Solo travelers will pay more per person. Prices fluctuate seasonally, so the ranges reflect typical shoulder and low-season rates.

Mexico (Riviera Maya, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta)

Mexico dominates the affordable all-inclusive market due to its proximity to US airports, competitive resort industry, and year-round warm weather.

1. Hotel Riu Lupita -- Playa del Carmen

Price: $70-100/person/night

Rating: 4.0/5 (Booking.com)

What is included: 3 buffet restaurants, 2 specialty restaurants (Mexican, Asian), 4 bars, pool, gym, entertainment, kids' club

Riu Lupita is set back from the beach in a jungle garden, which is why it costs less than beachfront properties. But Playa del Carmen's 5th Avenue and beach are a 10-minute walk or a free shuttle ride away. The rooms are clean and modern, the food quality is solid (especially the Mexican restaurant), and the pool area is spacious.

Who it is best for: Budget-conscious couples and families who want a Playa del Carmen base without paying beachfront premiums.

2. Grand Oasis Cancun

Price: $80-120/person/night

Rating: 3.7/5 (TripAdvisor)

What is included: 8 restaurants, 12 bars, 5 pools, beach access, nightly entertainment, gym, non-motorized water sports

Grand Oasis is a mega-resort with 1,500+ rooms. The scale is what keeps prices low. The beach location is excellent -- right on Cancun's hotel zone. The resort has a Cirque-du-Soleil-style nightly show, a lazy river, and an adults-only pyramid section (The Pyramid at Grand Oasis, slightly more expensive but still under $130/pp/night).

Who it is best for: Groups and young travelers who want a party-friendly atmosphere with beach access. Not the resort for quiet relaxation seekers.

3. Barcelo Maya Grand Resort -- Riviera Maya

Price: $90-140/person/night

Rating: 4.2/5 (Booking.com)

What is included: 16 restaurants, 14 bars, 5 pools, water park, beach, golf course, gym, spa, nightly shows

Barcelo Maya is actually five resorts in one, spread across a mile of beachfront. Guests can access restaurants and facilities at all five properties. At $90-140/person/night, the value is remarkable -- you are getting resort infrastructure that rivals $300+/night properties.

Who it is best for: Families and couples who want variety without leaving the resort. The water park is a hit with kids.

4. Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun

Price: $100-150/person/night

Rating: 4.3/5 (Booking.com)

What is included: 6 restaurants, 5 bars, 3 pools, beach, non-motorized water sports, daily activities, WiFi, room service

Now Sapphire operates under the AM Resorts "Unlimited Luxury" model, which means everything is genuinely included -- even room service at no extra charge. The resort sits on a quieter stretch of coast north of Playa del Carmen. Food quality is above average for the price point, especially at the French and Italian specialty restaurants.

Who it is best for: Couples seeking a higher-quality all-inclusive experience without the $200+ price tag.

5. Iberostar Paraiso Beach -- Riviera Maya

Price: $85-130/person/night

Rating: 4.1/5 (TripAdvisor)

What is included: 5 restaurants, 6 bars, 3 pools, beach, gym, tennis, kids' club, nightly entertainment

Iberostar Paraiso Beach is part of the larger Iberostar Paraiso complex, with access to multiple restaurants and pools across connected properties. The beachfront location is excellent, and the Spanish-chain management brings a level of consistency and quality control that independent resorts sometimes lack.

Who it is best for: Families. The kids' club, pool areas, and beach combine for a well-rounded family vacation.

Dominican Republic (Punta Cana, Puerto Plata)

The Dominican Republic offers some of the cheapest all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean, with direct flights from most US East Coast cities.

6. Riu Republica -- Punta Cana

Rating: 4.2/5 (Booking.com)

What is included: 5 restaurants, 5 bars, 3 pools (including rooftop infinity pool), beach, splash park, gym, entertainment, WiFi

Riu Republica is an adults-only party resort, and it owns that identity. The rooftop infinity pool is a scene. The beach is pristine Punta Cana white sand. The nightly entertainment includes live shows and DJ sets. For travelers in their 20s-30s who want a social, energetic atmosphere at budget prices, this is the pick.

Who it is best for: Young couples and friend groups who want an adults-only party atmosphere.

7. Bahia Principe Fantasia -- Punta Cana

Price: $70-100/person/night

Occidental Punta Cana is one of the cheapest beachfront all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean that maintains decent quality.

Who it is best for: Budget-first travelers who want a functional, no-frills all-inclusive beach vacation.

Price: $60-90/person/night

Rating: 3.7/5 (Booking.com)

Puerto Plata is on the Dominican Republic's north coast, less touristy than Punta Cana and with lower prices. The Senator resort includes basic spa treatments in its all-inclusive package -- a rarity at this price point. The beach is not as picture-perfect as Punta Cana's, but the value is undeniable.

Who it is best for: Budget travelers and couples who want a quieter Dominican Republic experience.

Jamaica (Montego Bay, Negril, Ocho Rios)

Jamaica's all-inclusive scene is anchored by major chains, with prices that undercut many travelers' expectations.

Rating: 4.1/5 (Booking.com)

What is included: 4 restaurants, 4 bars, 2 pools, beach, gym, sauna, entertainment, non-motorized water sports, WiFi

Riu Montego Bay sits on a private stretch of beach on the hip strip of Montego Bay. The adults-only policy keeps the atmosphere relaxed. The jerk chicken station at the beach grill is a standout. Rooms have ocean or garden views, and the beach is small but well-maintained.

11. Sunscape Cove Montego Bay

Royalton Negril is one of the best-value all-inclusives in Jamaica. Negril's famous Seven Mile Beach is right outside, and the resort's facilities are extensive for the price. The lazy river and water park area are excellent for families. The DreamBed mattresses in every room are a legitimate differentiator for sleep quality.

Who it is best for: Families and couples who want a well-rounded resort on Jamaica's best beach.

Turkey (Antalya Coast)

Turkey offers some of the most impressive all-inclusive value in the world. The resorts along the Antalya coast (also called the Turkish Riviera) rival Caribbean properties in quality while costing 30-50% less.

13. Rixos Sungate -- Antalya

Price: $90-140/person/night

Rating: 4.4/5 (Booking.com)

What is included: 9 restaurants, 11 bars, 6 pools, private beach, water park, kids' club, spa (hammam included), sports, entertainment

Rixos Sungate is a 5-star mega-resort that would cost $250+/night in the Caribbean. In Turkey, the same scale and quality comes at roughly half the price. The Turkish hammam experience is included. The food quality, particularly at the Turkish and international buffets, is excellent.

Who it is best for: Travelers who want luxury-level facilities at mid-range prices. Families will love the water park and kids' club.

Egypt (Red Sea Coast)

Egypt's Red Sea resorts offer all-inclusive packages at some of the lowest prices in the world, combined with world-class diving and snorkeling.

Booking Tips for the Cheapest All-Inclusive Rates

When to Book

2-3 months ahead for shoulder season (best balance of price and availability)
Last-minute deals (1-3 weeks before travel) can save 20-40%, but availability is limited and flights may be expensive
January-March: Book by early November for the best Caribbean winter-sun deals
May-June and September-November: The cheapest months at most Caribbean and Mediterranean resorts

Where to Book

Resort websites: Often have exclusive promotions and loyalty discounts
Costco Travel: Consistently excellent all-inclusive package deals (flights + resort). You do not need a Costco membership upgrade -- basic membership works.
Apple Vacations and Funjet Vacations: Charter-flight packages to Mexico and the Caribbean that bundle airfare and resort at steep discounts
Booking.com and Expedia: Good for comparing multiple properties. Filter by "all-inclusive" and sort by price.
Secret Escapes and Travelzoo: Curated flash sales with discounts of 30-60% on all-inclusive resorts

How to Get the Most Value

Request room upgrades at check-in: Politely asking if any upgrades are available sometimes works, especially at larger resorts during low season.
Book specialty restaurants immediately: Most all-inclusive resorts limit a la carte restaurant visits to 1-2 per stay or require reservations. Book your specialty dining as soon as you arrive.
Use all included activities: Water sports, gym, sports facilities, kids' clubs, and entertainment are all pre-paid. Use them.
Tip strategically: While tips are not required at all-inclusive resorts, a small tip to your bartender or server on day one often results in better service and stronger drinks for the rest of your stay. $1-2 per interaction is appropriate.

Planning Your All-Inclusive Getaway

Comparing 20+ resorts across five countries, matching them with flight deals, and coordinating dates can eat up hours of research. TripGenie can streamline the process by helping you find all-inclusive destinations that fit your budget, travel dates, and preferences -- taking the spreadsheet work out of vacation planning.

The Bottom Line

A week-long all-inclusive beach vacation for under $1,000 per person (including flights from the US) is not a fantasy -- it is a regular occurrence if you book the right resort at the right time. Egypt's Red Sea resorts deliver all-inclusive luxury for $50/night. Turkey's Antalya coast provides 5-star facilities at 3-star prices. Mexico's Riviera Maya offers world-class beaches and food just a 3-hour flight from Houston or Miami.

The all-inclusive model works for budget travelers because it eliminates surprise costs. You know what you are spending before you board the plane, and everything after that -- every meal, every drink, every sunset by the pool -- is already paid for. That peace of mind, combined with warm sand between your toes, is what a vacation is supposed to feel like.
