Sometimes, you need to get out of the city and go find a palm-tree-laden beach, someplace where the waiters will bring you those colorful drinks with the little umbrellas in them. These paradises have a name, and they're called all-inclusive resorts, typically beach hotels where you can eat and drink to your belly's content. But what are the best all-inclusive resorts, the ones with picture-perfect locations and a number of activities? We put together this list of not just the best all-inclusive resorts, but the world's best resorts to help you out:

And its location at the tip of the island means you can savor both sunrise and sunset views over the ocean.
