3.5/5Didn’t think this was value for money, not a true 4 stars?
Liked: We wanted to be closer to the airport and town and chose this neighborhood on purpose, as it was central but still with beach access. All inclusive is good to have but food was disappointing. The beach was nice.
Watch out: Food was pretty disappointing for a 4 star hotel. Overall to me the hotel as a whole felt borderline 3 star rather than 4 star.
