Underwhelming stay, overpriced drinks

minimal expectationhigh pricebad quality

The beach was there. I guess it met some minimal expectation.

The cocktails? Overpriced. Dinner suffered from similar problems. It was too expensive given its quality. This place isn't as nice as the pictures led me to believe. I was expecting something much better, a true level of a so-called good hotel.
