10/10 Exceptional

Price of food was crazy. All inclusive can only be used from 11 to 11. Before or after you have to pay. Example $7 for a diet coke. If you want drinks to your room you pay. No drink service at the beach. Not really an all inclusive. Plus, although quiet and lovely, you were bored to tears. No entertainment loader than a whisper and also ends at 11. Not for those who want to have fun.
