We did it a few years ago and it was very nice. I don't think we paid $80 a person, but it probably varies, based on season, etc. I don't know about it taking 5 hours to clear customs, that certainly seems excessive to me. For the departure, it was nice to be away from the crowds, and the food and drink were included in the price. Are you saying that the resort said you could book Club Mobay through the resort? As far as I know, you can still book Club Mobay directly with them. Perhaps the resort is marking it up? I might suggest you look about booking directly with Club Mobay, and see what the price is..

Just recently got back from a week at Sandals Royal Caribbean...I had read about Club MoBay but since we were traveling with others for a wedding, we decided against us. Clearly the value increases with the number of arrivals happening at the same time, but there were a couple of planes coming in at the same time and we were through customs etc in slightly less than 30 minutes I'd estimate. We did see the Mobay people leading people past us though. Much quicker leaving. I think the $80 number is $50 & $30 but I don't remember which direction was which.

I'm late to the conversation, but we just went through for spring break (March 12-19, so not weekends), and breezed right through on both ends. No way in hell I'd pay $80/head. That 3 hour check in on departure is misery in a bottle, but there's some decent fast food and Margaritaville Cafe - ick, I know, but it's better than Subway) I'm a lifelong Parrothead, but Jimmy has really sold out and cheapened the whole lifestyle. I dream of an outdoor airport lounge with trees, flowers, hammocks, island music, a big sandbox, and a real jerk BBQ food truck / bar. My husband says it would be a security nightmare, like terrorists could drop contraband in with drones, I don't know. There has to be a way, though. I'd pay $80 for that hang out spot.
