Never again

Yes it is a beautiful scene....beatiful photos and we have many..... But that's all. 1st.... It cost $550 (rt) to get from the airport to the hotel. The air conditioner in our room did not work well and it is hot there..... The front desk will always be helpful when they talk to you..... But they will do nothing to help you... They show many excursions to take..... But you cannot go .... If not enough people sign up then it is cancelled. We signed up everyday but always cancelled. Dinner cost $80 to $100 Per person per meal. And it is ok... Only ok. The cold drinks are never very cold.... Ice is a rare commodity. (a cold drink on a hot day SURE feels good, but you won't get one there) ask for ice and you will get 3 small icecubs . There is nowhere to buy snacks or munchies. I told the front desk I wanted to take a boat ride into the city..... First he said NO, you cannot.... But after some arguing..and $238...he agreed. And it was easy.... But my point is that he really tried to stop me from leaving.... I have many many stories... But I hope you get the picture.
