All Inclusive in U.S.
 
Are there any All Inclusive Resorts in the Southern U.S. on a beach.

Check out website for Little Palm Island in the FL keys. I found it by running a websearch for all inclusive beach Florida. The price is scary, but the photos are awesome and the accolades are impressive. Needless to say, I've never been there. I just cruised the internet to find it.

Little Palm Island is supposed to be incredible.

The Cloister on Sea Island may have rates that include meals.

The Greyfield Inn on Cumberland Island is AI, because of its isolation. If you want beautiful beaches, quiet and private, the Greyfield is the perfect option. www.greyfieldinn.com

The many Ritz Carlton in Florida may have packages that include meals.

If you want an AI similar to the honeymoon destinations in the Caribbean, I think the answer would be "no". Or my answer is, not that I know of.

For what it's worth, I've heard that true AIs that include alcohol are scarce in the US because of our liquor laws.

Years ago we went to the south seas plantation (I think that was the name) in CAptiva, Fl. It was AI at that time.

Definitely check out The Cloister on Sea Island. But, if you want your alcohol to be included, it is not.

Not certain, but some places on Amelia Island outside of Jacksonville, FL may do all inclusive.

The ones I listed "may" have meals included in some package options. I don't know of any that have alcohol included. MerryTravel may have given the reason why. The closest to alcohol included that I know of would be the club level of some of the high end resorts - but most of those that I have been to charge for liquor. At times, house beer and wine are "free" in the club lounge.

I would imagine liability laws may have something to do with the alcohol portion of AI in the US. Just a guess of course.

Club Med did have a resort in the U.S. on Florida's southeast coast area. Have not been there, but read about it a few years ago. Also, another source is the website vacationstogo.com.
