Sounds like Aruba! Used to be $25 and was totally worth it. Now it's $65 and a rip-off, unless you order 3 main course dishes and drink yourself blind at dinner!

There is even an upcharge for some meals while on all-inclusive?!?!?

Unfortunately, the hotel doesn't handle the purchase process well. Disappointing layover hotel, but Aruba beaches are nice. I'll take it over many other layovers in the system.
