Hi Jimmy
I have done a all inclusive 5xs times to Cancun, Mexico. Used Apple vacation all 5 times. go to applevacations.com and check them out. You have to book with a travel agent. I am from philadelphia pa, it takes around 4 hours to get there. Last time I was there the plane left Philly at 6:00AM, I was at the pool by 1:00PM and even ate lunch.
What I like best is that everything is paid for before you leave. All you need is some spending money .
Cancun is easy to get around local bus is 60 cents for one end of the town to the other end. And there is even a Walmart there. Apple does have other islands too. They leave from most large cities all over the USA

We went to Jamaica during out of season time slot and we got a better deal. Book early if you're going in season.
When touring a town and shopping spree, don't do heavy shopping on the day cruise ships come in as the people hike up their prices.
We booked with an all inclusive hotel package and bought separate travel packages for those sites we were interested in doing. These have different price tags attached. Arrange to do these things on the day you arrive if possible.
There are many fun things to do locally near the hotel as well and we had a great time on the beach of an evening. The one hotel we were booked had grill outs daily and burgers and hot dogs were free to eat. And one night, an art market on the beach was set up and you could browse the homemade items of wood, bamboo, and sewing goods, etc. and buy. At night the hotel was alive with karaoke and there was a lot of unknowns very talented.
Don't forget Dunn's Waterfall either. Doing the unusual is a most memorable experience and lots of fun.
We spent one day on a remote island for snorkeling, swimming, lunch and boat ride. You could also walk the island trails and lounge in hammocks and listen to the island music. It was an enjoyable time and it went by too quickly.
Also, there are many blooming plants to enjoy and trees. It's gorgeous scenery. Make sure you have a lot of film for camera and this self tour is very inexpensive. Food prices in Jamaica are cheaper than in the Bahamas as they grow a lot of their own foods.
We also took a day tour to visit a plantation in the mountains and once there, lunch was provided, history about the plantation and its owner was told and local musicians gathered on the front porch to entertain for you as you lounged around and sip cold drinks. We also visited one of the local schoolhouses in the mountain and the children sang to us.
This link should help you to decide your price range for the all inclusive Jamaica trip. Have fun and more fun!!!
