Yes, $65/day (with tax) was reasonable. Staff was swarming, constantly replacing towels (too much so IMO, wasteful -- I had ~10 towels during one day). Airport lounge was great, extras were thoughtful and useful (kayaks, inner tubes, snorkels), concierge service exceptional. I'd prefer not to pay it, of course, but when I checked out, I had no beef with the charge whatsoever.
(I forgot to include my biggest beef in original post: the poolside service took FOREVER. They didn't seem understaffed, just slow. I typically waited 10-15 minutes for drinks (and once, maybe twice, I had to remind them to bring my drink). My work-around: I found a guy who was quick and didn't forget my orders and I ordered through him the rest of the trip.)
