I guess it would depend on the price point in PC. Certain times of the year you can find some relatively decent prices. But for "luxury" I think the average they quoted is a bit off. Or maybe the price is per person based on two people traveling?
Yes because the article talks about daily food, entertainment, alcohol and transportation costs.
Just as a comparison, I will be up at the Viva Heavens in Puerta Plata on 21 March with 2 other adults and an infant. For the 4 of us, it's $261/night. Never been so don't know how good that's going to be.

We were having a fondue bourguignon in my house and she send him pictures.
His answer was: “I haven’t seen red meat or pork for months!”
There is nothing there.
He is a tough guy but is thinking of giving up this life.
Imagine the people not in his position.
Viva Heavens should put that on the menu where NanSanPedro is going lol.
Had to look up fondue bourguignon. I'm just not fondue kind of guy. Maybe my Haitian guests?
It would great at AI's kinda like the Japanese Steakhouse model,
Fondue bourguignon is a Swiss dish where you dip bite-sized pieces of raw meat (usually beef) into hot oil to cook them right at the table. It’s interactive and social, served with various dipping sauces like garlic butter, mustard, or aioli. Think of it as a fun, hands-on experience—less like a stew and more like a DIY cooking party.
Thanks for your explanation…I wrote it wrong it’s bourguignonne.
As you explained. It’s entertaining slow dining. We love it… once a month or so.
It’s very easy AE.
Good beef, we add pieces of hamburger (tartar) and chicken filet.
My wife makes the “ensalada rusa”, good baguette some sauces and your ready.
I like that model of restaurants at the AI's because you meet and dine with other guests it's fun. I am a little bit of a Grand Palladium junkie and they have some good restaurants there.
I think I still hold the record for the most plates consumed in one sitting at the Pequeña Suiza in BC. Ask Nelson.
