For an all inclusive vacation touting "Luxury Included..." I'd think we'd get a better bed than we did. After complaining, they did try to make it better and provided as much as they could. Our room was nowhere near as spacious as advertised. The food is good for the first few days, but past that it gets old when it's all the same every day, which is how they can cut cost to make it "all inclusive". We haven't had a single tour that is complimentary, and they are all, evidently priced as if you're going to drink yourself into oblivion. Even in the rooms alcohol with all you need except ice, is provided to drink till your liver's content. These are full bottles, not minis.
Nothing seems individualized, even after paying thousands, there is no "special" treatment. Be sure to take out a loan before visiting the gift shop. Plain, average t-shirts are $30-$40. Button ups are $35-$155. That's right. Each of the Sandals; Montego Bay, Royal Caribbean and the Carlyle have different prices on the same items. I bought a shirt for dinner for $35 at Carlyle, then saw it at the Royal Caribbean for $155. A 24ct bottle of Motrin IB was $16. To get a t-shirt washed will cost you $4 and a pair of pants $7.
I'm truly not trying to be negative, but for the money we paid we really did expect more. The people can be great, the city is nasty, and the amenities are lacking. All they have going for them is their amazing weather, beautiful beaches and great attitudes.
God Bless them.
