Did this include the standard all-inclusive package? When I went I paid $281 for two people for 7 nights at the Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort & Spa (Right next door and part of the same group) for a Superior room. The room itself was really the only let down of the resort. I would definitely pay an extra $200 for the nice room.
Where did you book you room?
I booked through a member (DDF Joesol gave me the contact information)- Cheri: pekartimp@aol.com. She was very helpful and gave us good prices.
Basically the member reserves and pays for the room for you (you pay them for that cost). All inclusive is on top of that (whether you're doing kosher or not). So based on staying in Cofresi, the room was $450/week. Upon arrival, ANYONE has to pay $50/day per person for all inclusive-- that gives you access to all of the bars and restaurants,etc. Kosher, is another $49/day per person. So, in total, if you do the kosher option, you're paying for the room PLUS $99/day. It was confusing to us that they made us pay separate, but if you know in advance it makes more sense.
So on a one week stay, you're charged $50/day per person for all inclusive= $700 (based on 2 adults), and then $49/day per person for kosher= $686 (based on 2 adults).
Total cost for hotel+ food for the week for 2 adults was-- $450+$700+$686= $1,836. (which included transport to and from airport)
