Just made a reservation at this hotel for 5 nights in January @ 35k p/night.

Booked a 'Standard Room' and they allocated me a Garden View Beachouse which I thought was reasonably generous.

Anyway, they emailed me prices for their food and beverage packages and they seem to have changed a little from the last post on the subject in this thread:

Does anyone who's gone with these packages know whether say with the all inclusive package whether room service is included or can you ONLY eat at the Kandooma Cafe buffet? Looking at the email it seems they may have dropped the 'Premium all inclusive' option that let you dine anywhere?

Tempted to go the drinks package and just dine a la carte

EDIT:

I contacted the hotel about the 'Premium All-Inclusive' option and got the following response:

"Kindly note that our Premium All Inclusive option is no longer available starting 01 November 2015 onwards."

So I guess it's really forcing a choice between buffet or a la carte
