In my lovely industry, I am often referencing an ultimate all-inclusive excel workbook (I do love my excel - blame my time in inventory management!) that factors in traveler ratings from multiple sites to rank these resorts from the best of the best all the way down (After all – we are not planning to put our name on anything subpar.) Consistently at the very top of this list was a place I had not heard of - The Aerial in the British Virgin Islands. It was new. Anyone who had gone rated it a 5 star experience and the fact that I was unfamiliar with it after so much time digging into all-inclusive resorts for our guests was even more intriguing to me. And so...I have now done ALL the research to bring this one to you.
