There's not too much reason to leave the resort other than to eat at other resorts.
We did the falls. It's ok. People on here bitch about the local market, but my wife and I never felt uncomfortable. They will bargain and we found some deals on some non-touristy goods. We ate at one local place recommended by a concierge. No idea what it was, but I had some really good oxtails.
Oh...we did ride horses for about 4-5 hours one day. That was pretty damn awesome riding through the Jamaican countryside with a guide. Found some farms and local stores in the countryside that were very hospitable. Shared the local "product" and some food. Didn't charge us anything, but we tipped them well.
Otherwise, just enjoy the resort. That resort beach is very nice (if small), and you can go to a different resort one day for a different beach experience. Keep the free Appleton rum drinks coming and chill.
ETA: Forgot the obligatory..."enjoy the ride to the resort!"

I've heard about it. Is it as bad as advertised?

No way in hell I would go to Jamaica and stay on the resort grounds.
Too many records to find, and too much goat curry to eat. Patties and callaloo galore. It ain't for the weak of heart, but why not just go to Sandestin? That resort stuff is as fake as it gets.
