True...but it depends on what one wants, right? I wouldn't spend it, but 850 is very good value for that place - I hate the ads, but the service and the quality is not bad at all, definitely worth the spend if someone wants a top-class hotel.

850 would be fine, but babysitting and shaded pool much better :-)

I'm just so bloody uninspired at the moment lmao
I need a holiday but where on earth do you go from here with a 3 year old and a 2 year old - both boys that have insane amounts of energiser bunny energy and do. not. stop.
God no way am I having a third.

We stay at Jal on occassion...but I have to say the restuarants are a bit dissapointing.
Everything else is spot on and good value.
