My partner and i literally avoid everyone... We like our alone time and say no to everyone... We hardly spend any money either as we dont feel the need to buy for the sake of buying...

Any advice for a nice family resort with five family member with nice waterpark

[@KEVINSMITH-hw8wx]

The reality of the situation is simple wherever and whenever u travel abroad u can expect to be taken advantage of. Whether it’s taxis at the airport,gas stations,or pharmacies u go to best believe they will upsell and overcharge you. You are not a local therefore u dnt really knw where to go and what to avoid. For something a local will pay 10 dollars for u as a tourist will pay $100. Get used to it…

I disagree about reviews with specific people are likely compelled reviews. If I make a review, it's usually because someone went above and beyond! It's one way to thank that staff. Usually if they helped so much it did really make the review!

My husband recently read an article that it’s a booming business to write one- and five-star reviews, so to check the person’s other reviews to see what they’re saying about other properties.
