While there are plenty of resorts to choose from, one question often comes up: should you stay in a 4 star hotel or something a little less expensive? On the surface, it may seem like the obvious answer is to go with the cheaper option. However, there are a few things to keep in mind that may make a 4 star hotel the better choice.
For one, 4 star hotels often come with all-inclusive packages that include food and drink. This means that you won’t have to worry about spending extra money on meals or beverages, which can add up quickly. In addition, 4 star hotels typically have nicer rooms and more amenities, such as a pool, fitness center, and spa.
Finally, staying in a 4 star hotel can give you a sense of luxury and comfort that you may not get in a lower-priced option. So, if you’re looking to splurge a little bit on your vacation, a 4 star hotel is the way to go.
