So, talking about the comparison between a US or other first world hotel compared to Dominican Republic 5 star all inclusive resorts, where the 5 star hotel's guest, even rumored to be SIX star hotel, at 5:30am on a weekday, got mugged by two assailants. Min-max $1,000-$10,000. In comparison, DR 5 star all inclusive is one price and that's it for 90% of the services, and if you don't want the 10%, which is usually off site or massage spas, then it's 100%. The rates there are on average, $250-$350 nightly. The most expensive, is a shocking $500 nightly. And it is like a heaven on earth. It by no means is small. You would think so since it's a resort, and on a smallish island also. No, I've run as a jog, some resorts, and it is like running a township. The people are nicer there because, well, third world jails are known for....near human rights violations. Who from America or Europe or elsewhere wants that when they have a life at home? Consider options, it can save your life.
