i thought the rule of thumb when travelling to central/south america is always book 5 stars? I have only done one all-inclusive to DR for a wedding, and stayed at a 4-star. Friends thought I was crazy

I've found in the service industry, you get what you pay for until a certain point. 5 star in the DR is probably a good idea, mostly due to the food. Though I haven't researched this one much nor do I have an intention of travelling until our gov finds 2 doses in a shorter than 4 month period, a quick look at some reviews say room cleanliness and food/dinner could be better.. https://www.kayak.co.uk/hotels/whalabay ... =LqCEA9cny_

We also went to a 4 star all inclusive. Steak all day and free room service. Maybe depends on which hotel

Not that great of a price once you pay for airfare + transportation to the resort. Much better places to stay with less hassle and lower prices.

That is cheaper than rent over here.

The rule of thumb is subtract a star for all inclusive resorts in the Caribbean and subtract 2 for Cuba. For example a 5 star in the Caribbean is more like a 4 star anywhere else and a 5 star in cuba is like 3 star elsewhere.

Does it really? Where else would you go on vacation for $50 per person per day including accommodations and all meals?

I am not defending the deal in any way, but something tells me you're not terribly familiar with the cost of travel and/or all-inclusives.

How about we just skip the trip make it a little staycation in Chateau Trudeau otherwise known as 'designated facilities'. /s

A few years back I booked a hotel so I could be closer to a conference that was already close enough, but not super convenient without separate lodging. It turned out to be a great decision, so I remain open to the concept.

Not really, Cuba, maybe, but rest of Central/South America you can get away with 3 or 4 stars as long as you do some research before booking.
