$2,435 for two · 7 nights · flights, hotel, taxes, fees & the resort fee
Flights $616 + hotel $1,595 + resort fee $224, taxes in · a checked bag each adds about $240
Frontier · with a stop · 9h 15m
The catch: One stop stretches the outbound to 9h 15m, and a checked bag, about $240 for two, isn't in the total.
Worth it if you want a walkable food-and-views city week in a jacket; skip it if you need sun or a nonstop.
