To get to the island you need to pay for seaplane at $500-$700 per person
The catch is that unless you plan on packing ramen noodles and a water kettle in your suitcase,, expect to pay an arm and a leg for any food or drinks beyond included breakfast and happy hour.

The way this deal is structured pretty much makes it a no brainer to opt for the full board package, since it includes lunch, dinner, and the expensive transfers. Things are very expensive when you are trapped on a private island, full board is definitely the way to go.
so to summarize


- full board seems logical given the price/hassle of transfers, food, etc., so it's $1400, not $400
- it doesn't include flights, which from DC look to be at least a grand per person
- 5 nights is nothing for that long of a trip (if domestic US), $80/n night extra. something like two weeks seems appropriate

bringing the $399 deal to $4120 (for two)

I have no idea how this compares to a usual trip out there, this could still be slick, but the $399 resort stay definitely seems a bit headline-grabby

I think it's $350.
Domestic flight with speedboat transfers are $350 per adult (12 and above); $269 for children (2-11); $99 for infants (0-1). Transfers are booked through the resort.

I agree with others though, the stay is too short for how long the flight will be.

If I purchase the full board package, I don't have to worry about anything other than international flight? Also do I pay extra for 3 yrs old child?
