A newly refurbished mid range all-inclusive hotel on amazing Palm beach. Yep-I love all-inclusive properties.
What I wish I
could change:
The A/C in the room that I had was so cold... Better too cold than too hot!
Why YOU should
go:
Families and couples alike will feel comfortable here. There is always plenty of activity at the pool, and being all-inclusive and having 4 restaurants means that you will never go hungry. Did I mention there is a casino?
