Was there for 3 nights two weeks ago. Globalist and used a Suite Upgrade. Continous to be a great mid-level property.
IMO it doesn't make sense to pay 25k points for it (same 25k points you'd pay for the Zivas or Zilara), but for ~$200/night plus all the Globalist perks it can be a great deal.

Did try the all-Inclusive package shown above one of the three nights I stayed. It's basically a ~20hr pass, 3pm to 12pm next day. Or whenever you check-in until you check-out.
With taxes and fees it ends up being ~$130. I got it for one day and planned around it to maximize it and try as many options as possible. So definitely got my money's worth
If you don't eat as much but do plan to lay by the pool/beach and drink all day then this could still be a bargain. 5 regular cocktails would set you back 40-50 bucks.

Alcohol aside, the steakhouse (The Grill at 1 26) is the true deal maker/breaker in terms of food. A ribeye + side + dessert would be like 70 bucks. Eat/drink more and it'll be $100 just for that one meal.
The sushi is alright. Nothing especial. And the Cocina restaurant is solid, but nothing to drool over. A big meal with two entrées would cost you ~40 bucks total.
