I'm thinking of using the all inclusive Marriott offer (for 70K points) at the Marriott in Curacao. I was curious if anyone had used the offer there or even at other Caribean locations?
I'm just curious how flexible the all inclusive offer is - can you eat wherever/whenever you like on the property? I've only done one All Inclusive in my life, it was a Sandals, and I'm wondering how this would compare for 70K miles.
Thanks!!!

I have never stayed in Curacao but can speak about the all inclusive package at the Casa Magna in Cancun and the Marriott in Grand Cayman.
Cancun: The all inclusive allows you to have breakfast at LA Capilla which is the only place I am aware of for breakfast and they have a pretty good spread with an omellete station. Lunch is available at the beach restaurant, pool restaurant or champions sports bar. Dinner is available at La Capilla (Steakhouse), Sasa Thai, Mikado and Champions Sports bar. There has never been any limitations on how much you can each, however, some items carry a $10 surcharge such as lobster and finer cuts of beef. As far as bars, I'm a beer guy so all domestic Mexican beer was included. Decent house wine with dinners, not sure about the mixed drinks but they seem to use regular stuff. They have always provided us with a info sheet at check in telling you what is included and what isn't.
Grand Cayman: A shorter stay but there is one option for breakfast, beach restaurant and main bar for lunch and the bar and beach front restaurant for dinner. This one we found a little more restrictive but still very good. Once again we were provided with a info sheet on ckeck in to let us know what was available. Beer selection was more limited to American and Mexican beer so I ended up drinking a combination of Caybrew, Sol and Corona for the four days.
I have always found this package as these two different resorts very reasonable and the staff always accomodating.
