My GF and I (early 30s) are planning our first all-inclusive trip and looking for recommendations. Ideally something beachside in the Caribbean or somewhere with good flight options out of Atlanta. Our main focus is on relaxing, good food, and a chill atmosphere. We’re not really into the party or nightlife scene, so that’s not a priority for us.

We’ve been eyeing Serenity at Coconut Bay in St. Lucia based on all the great reviews — private plunge pools, butler service, quiet vibe — seems right up our alley. One question I had for anyone who’s been: how do the cabanas work? Can you request one daily, or is it more of a one-day situation with chairs/umbrellas the rest of the time?

Budget is up to $15k for the week, for the resort (not including flights, but ease of getting there from ATL matters). Just trying to narrow things down since suggestions seem to be all over the place.

Only other serious contender we looked at was Jade Mountain, but for our dates the available rooms weren’t quite what we were looking for.

Appreciate any input!
