I haven't been, but the fact that there is no indoor bathroom at any of its beach villas will be a deterrent for me. (We actually prefer beach villas to overwater villas -- evidently some or all of Alila's OWVs have indoor bathrooms.) The thought of having to go to a non-air-conditioned bathroom outside at night... yeah, not for me.

That said, I was chatting with a couple at the PH who had just come from the Alila, and they were quite pleased with it (despite the bathroom situation). Fresher vibe, more mature/identifiable restaurants, easier to get to.

I don't really pay attention to the food/drink prices. We ate and drank whatever we wanted for 5 nights (4 days) and spent under $2k for F&B. And I was drinking Camus XO cognac, Monkey 47 gin, etc. The booze prices really aren't too bad. The food prices are high but the difference between a $52 burger and whatever a less-shockingly-expensive resort burger might cost ($30?) doesn't end up moving the needle, it's just twenty bucks here or there. So we just get the $52 burger or the $66 thai green curry (it's really good btw) and don't really sweat it. The math on the all-inclusive plans doesn't add up for me because we aren't the kind of people to want a "three course meal" of resort food, and the specialty restaurants and good booze aren't included anyhow. The expensive meals we ate were at Koi (we gorged one night and it was $480 all in, we ate light the other night and it was $280) and the seafood barbecue buffet ($219++/person). If there was a truly "all inclusive" plan that included unlimited sushi at Koi and the highest-shelf booze, then I would consider it, but I can't imagine they would offer such a thing.
