They're only more expensive for the guests if the alternative is having a wedding in your guests home city.
IMO they're a great alternative when one of the wedding couple is from a different city and half the guests will be travelling anyway. A week in Mexico is the same costs as flying across the country and getting a few nights in a hotel. And with a destination wedding you save the cost of the wedding gift - "your presence is the present".
I've only gone to 2 destination weddings and both were a blast. Party with your friends for a week? Yes please.
