How we rate hotels

The data points Chicago families actually care about

We built this comparison tool because we got tired of watching Chicago clients cycle through five different booking sites trying to figure out which Cancun or Punta Cana resort actually has a swimmable shallow pool for toddlers, or which property is close enough to the airport that a tired family won’t face a 90-minute van ride after a 4-hour flight. Every hotel below has real numbers for airport transfer time, pool count and depth, kids club age range, food rating (TripAdvisor, Google, and our own honest score), waterpark and beach type. Tick the boxes, compare, then call us and we’ll quote flights from Chicago.

Chicago Hotel Guide

All-inclusive Caribbean resorts we book from Chicago

Most Chicago families end up in one of four destinations for an all-inclusive Caribbean vacation, and the hotel decision depends heavily on what kind of trip you want. Here is how we think about it after hundreds of all-inclusive bookings from O’Hare and Midway.

Cancun (CUN): the largest selection of all-inclusive properties anywhere in the Caribbean, from budget 3.5★ family hotels in the Hotel Zone to luxury 5★ adults-only resorts in Playa Mujeres and Riviera Maya (Playa del Carmen, Tulum). Airport transfers run 15 to 75 minutes depending on the zone. The Hotel Zone (Zone 3–4) is the classic first-time Chicago family pick for proximity and convenience.

Punta Cana (PUJ): wider beaches than Cancun, slightly quieter, and often better pricing at the 4–5★ Iberostar, Hard Rock, Royalton and Barceló brands. Transfers range from 15 to 60 minutes. The Bávaro strip is the most popular, while Uvero Alto and Cap Cana are for travelers who want a bit more isolation.

Jamaica (MBJ): three main resort zones out of Montego Bay airport. Montego Bay itself is 15 minutes from the airport and works for Chicago travelers who hate long transfers. Ocho Rios and Negril are both about 90 minutes. Ocho Rios is better for excursions (waterfalls, river rafting); Negril has arguably the best swimming beach on the island (Seven Mile Beach).

Aruba (AUA): small island, short transfers (10–25 minutes for most resorts), and the most reliable weather in the region. The Palm Beach high-rise strip has most of the larger all-inclusive properties; Eagle Beach is quieter with more low-rise boutique options.
