“Sporting Event Follower”
Last minute invitation to follow my daughter in a sporting event, I had two choices: all inclusive hotel with the team, or alternatives like Allamanda... My daughter stayed at the all inclusive, I chose Allamanda. Not a bad decision at all. Good location, clean, well maintain, beach access, hot water, kitchen with all appliances and tools. I had low expectations comming in, but left satisfied with the hotel. Granted, I spent the whole day at the sporting event, leaving early every morning (after a I cooked my own breakfast), and coming back late afternoon very tired. At least I had a chance to walk to the beach every afternoon to sink my tired feet in the warm waters... A small shopping center in front of the hotel provided all the extras I needed: small marked to purchase breakfast goods, wine, beer, snacks; and a food court with local food (cheaper at the local restaurants, than the Subway next door (very expensive for a footlong!!!). Instead of taking a taxi, I took the ZR's every morning and afternoon (1.00 US per ride). My only issue with the hotel was the noise from the fauna and the ocean during the night, but after a few beers or the glasses of wine, most of the noise kind of lowered down.
