Using a hyphen in a keyword good or not when it probably should have it for grammar?

Hello,

I'm putting a site together for all-inclusive resorts, and I've been going back and forth as to whether to include the hyphen when I use the phrase 'all-inclusive'. What I've seen so far:

  1. The hyphen does not show up in search suggestions, so I don't know how Google treats it
  2. Search results for some of these searches show a mixed bag, so the jury is out as to whether it matters (or maybe those sites without a hyphen are higher up because they don't have one)
  3. The hyphen is grammatically correct, but I'll get rid of it if no hyphen will help my page rankings.

Essentially, does the hyphen matter at all, either positive or negative? If it is neutral, I'll keep it, but would like to know if it matters before I make a decision.
