All drinks were included, as well as snorkel gear, kayaking, etc. We only ate one or two meals off the resort- such as when we went downtown, etc. so we really ended up spending a lot less. It was very relaxing to be in one place.
I also honeymooned at the Occidental and loved it. I had no complaints and purchasing the all-inclusive package was well worth it! We never had to worry about meals or drinks. And took full advantage of breakfast everyday, drinks by the pool, if we got hungry - we could just order food, and we did have dinner at the resort a few nights. But we also went outside the hotel for dinner other nights.

That all-inclusive package also included ocean activities that did not involve motors; i.e. no jet ski rentals. But we had access to floats and other things.

Actually, my husband and I, and a few friends just booked Aruba again - this time at the Renaissance, also all-inclusive. I cannot wait.
