It's certainly not a low-end resort. With a Travelocity package and coupon, we can in around $450 a night in May for a swim-up suite. It's less expensive than Hidden Beach, but certainly on the high end of places we have stayed. We decided it was worth the extra $600 for the trip vs. what we would pay to stay a Hedonism.

We tend to alternate between all-inclusive and not all-inclusive. We recently returned from Aruba where we did an AirBNB which ran about $200 a night. The all-inclusives are not really cheaper. But, there's something to be said for putting the wallet away and not worrying about the cost of that drink or activity. We find it worth a premium, but are by no means always go that route.
