How we ranked these
We ranked each resort on the number of restaurants its own page states, most first. Ties go to the number of bars stated; resorts that state no restaurant count follow, ordered by pools stated, then by whether they state a combined restaurant-and-bar count. We used counts because none of these pages publishes a fixed nightly rate, so there is nothing fair to compare on price. For the same reason, best value on this page simply means the most restaurants under one all-inclusive plan, which is Barceló Maya Grand Resort. A count is not a quality score, and a resort that publishes less ranks lower here even if it is excellent. Wyndham Alltra states only a combined 11 restaurants and bars, and Hard Rock and the two RIU resorts state no restaurant count, so the chart leaves them off. Every fact comes from the resort’s own page, read on November 8, 2026. These pages refused automated requests, so we could not use them: Hotel Xcaret Mexico, Iberostar, Sandos, Hyatt’s Secrets resorts, Royalton, Meliá, Palace Resorts and Excellence. For a worldwide ranking that includes Grand Velas Riviera Maya, see [the best luxury all-inclusive beach resorts in the world](/travel/best-luxury-all-inclusive-beach-resorts-in-the-world-2027/). Facts are taken from each maker's own published information; check the official site before you buy.
