Is Sandals squandering its brand by going budget?

I'm not convinced that this a wise move. To me the Sandals brand is synonymous with luxury, exotic, romantic holiday for couples. It takes a long time to build up a well known and recognisable brand and to my mind Sandals is squandering it's brand by going down the budget route.
What do you think? Would you be put off paying high prices for a brand that's setting its sight on the budget end of the market? Or is it quite acceptable for one brand to have very different offerings for different market sectors and if the resorts under various sub brands are entirely separate, there will not be any perception of brand dilution by high end customers?
