[quote=Anonymous]Hmmm if you don't drink or care about it, or if you like good food they may not be for you. I personally don't care for them, our work sends us every year so I have a fairly objective view. 
I see it as a quantity vs quality thing. For example-we have stayed at all inclusives in St Lucia, Dominican repub, and Antigua. I literally could not get a salad in Dom Rep-all they would give me was a little pile of shredded cabbage. 
The food was a little better in St Lucia, more fruits and veggies, and Antigua had the highest quality food, but still not the high quality that you would expect here in the states. 
Some resorts aren't allowed to tell you about stuff off the resort-Secrets resorts are bad about this-so you are stuck there or with their contracted people for outings. 
Galley bay in Antigua was pretty nice, very quiet-not much for partiers. 
Secrets resorts and Sanctuary at Cap Cana were both pretty cheesy-lots of young (very young!) newlyweds with lots of fake boobs and tattoos. Forced to listen to Celine Dione and billy ocean pumped in over the pool speakers all.day.long! 
The food is yucky versions of American food-microwaved burgers, frozen fries, pizza, etc 
It wasn't a good fit for us, if I am out of the country I want to eat local food and fresh fish, etc. and yes, the drinks were watery but since we were drinking in the sun all day long I guess that's a good thing. 
But it's hard to drown out the loud cheesy dj trying to get everyone to do the limbo on the pool deck, do the Macarena, etc [/quote]
