Hi, welcome to the Forum and good luck with everything...

Congrats on your upcoming wedding. My wedding date will be April 17th in Costa Rica.

 

I've never been but I have stayed in All Inclusive spots before. Here are my thoughts. Some people believe they're getting free booze and food. You're actually paying for all this stuff but it's in the package. The times that I've stayed in all inclusive spots, I felt like I needed to stay in the hotel to get the value for what I spent. If you plan to have dinner or lunch away from the hotel, the hotel will be making easy money off of you b/c you just purchased say 5 nights at an all inclusive of which you never had dinner there. So what you got A drink at the bar at no cost. I think CR has a lot of places to visit. You prob wouldn't want to spend a lot of time at the hotel. All inclusive vacations are for people that want to stay at the hotel for most of their vacation otherwise it will be a waste of money. If your hotel has an option to purchase all inclusive days, i would recommend doing that rather than making your entire stay all inclusive b/c chances are you prob wont spend a lot of time at the hotel.

 

Regarding hav'g a wedding there - I aslo inquired at a few spots. Your guests are pretty much paying for their own food and drinks b/c they're be staying at the hotel. If you don't mind having your guests pay the price to stay at the resort, go for it.

 

Hope this helps with your decisions.

 

Good luck to you and happy planning.
