Guatemala is probably not your first thought when considering a spoiling vacation in Central America, mainly because it’s next to Mexico. But if you did decide to take a relaxing trip to Guatemala then you did good research.
You can visit Guatemala every month during the year. Still, our recommendation is to visit the country from November to April in order to enjoy the dry season in order to enjoy the good sun while sitting next to the pool or the beach.
Guatemala has a lot to offer, starting with great food, good weather, very affordable prices, really friendly locals, and great sites of the ancient Mayan ruins like Tikal and the colonial city of Antigua.
Actually, there is only two all inclusive resorts in Guatemala, but I’ll introduce you to all the best hotels in Guatemala so you’ll have more possibilities to choose from. So let’s start our list.
The 9 Best All Inclusive Resorts In Guatemala
The Best All Inclusive Resorts In Guatemala:
Oceana Resort & Conventions
Sitting next to the beautiful ocean, just a few steps next to the sandy beach, so even if your partner prefers the beach and you prefer the pool, you won’t be so far away from each other. The location of the hotel is pretty isolated, but if you’re not lazy you can find some restaurants 2 kilometers from the hotel(you won’t need them because the food in the hotel is great). The hotel’s decor is up to date and everything looks very clean. The hotel facilities include a nice bar, 2 great-looking pools, a fitness center, and a soothing jacuzzi.

The All Inclusive Experience
I know you might be bummed that there are only 2 all inclusive resorts in our Guatemala hotels list and if you think you can’t enjoy without all inclusive accommodation then go ahead and book them. But in my opinion, the other hotels on our list contain other great things that should cover the fact that they don’t have an all inclusive experience like the lakeshore hotels which offer the best views in Guatemala. So whether you like to stay in the best all inclusive resorts in Guatemala or just in an ordinary hotel, just pick one of the options above and I promise you’re going to enjoy it.
