[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]its known for a certain low-key under the radar old money wealthy vibe.  if you can afford it, i bet its a great wedding.  [/quote]

Having just been there for a work conference, it is not low-key. The old money wealthy vibe is extremely apparent. At least to someone who is not old money wealthy. :)

It is beautiful. It is also not my thing and I would never, ever drop $2k on 3 nights for just about anything. But I'm not a resort/cruise person. If you are, then it may be worth it if the cost is not an issue for you. It's absolutely gorgeous, not crowded (at least, it wasn't crowded mid-week), lovely beaches, good but super expensive dining, everyone was thin and wealthy and beautifully dressed. [/quote]

Examples of how it was apparent?[/quote]

There’s a dress code for every restaurant and activity so people are quite dressed up all the time. It’s self-contained with no vending machines or anything, you have to eat at a restaurant, order room service, or leave the premises to get food. There’s staff everywhere who address you by name, open doors, offer water and mints at every opportunity. Nearly all the guests are white and rich looking - women have blond hair, men have every neat haircuts, wear polo shirts with brand names, have their own golf equipment. Golf carts everywhere to ferry you around. Fancy bikes. Expensive gift shops.  It’s all very curated. It’s beautiful. But its crazy to say the wealth is low key. You’re not staying staying here if you can’t drop $3k or more for a couple of days. [/quote]
