Now it is time to bring the summary to my wife and get to a decision - show only trusts me so much, even after 15 years.

You might find that Naviva is still worth it. FWIW, I wrote a review here:

Bear in mind their rates are truly all inclusive, and you could well spend $500-750 a day on F&B at the other resorts you are considering. Also, Naviva has incredible privacy / romance relative to the other options. I get it, it is eye watering expensive. But you only have your 15 year anniversary once.
