Not sure that's true or will necessarily continue to be true. The place we had been staying (Au Coeur Caraïbe) (where we were perfectly happy) has raised their prices approx 40% in 4 years. It wasn't cheap before, but is more than we want to spend now. So, though we had planned on a March trip to SBH we're going elsewhere in May. Not the Dominican but a very, very lovely place with magnificent views, lovely wines, excellent restaurants, and a multitude of walk-out-your-door hikes. Fully equipped 1 BR apartment with stunning view for 90€ per night in high season. More restaurants to choose from and much more reasonably priced. Air fare a bit more but not that much more.
We'll probably do SBH next March, but escalating prices will make a difference for some vacationers.
Glad you haven't given up on SBH completely, but I have to ask, where ARE you going in May?
