Grand Sunset Princess - All Inclusive

Grand Sunset Princess - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"There was always inconsistency with food and drinks, every time we would go to a reservation the same food would be a different quality and same thing with drinks, some days they make it good, some days they don’t. Also, the beach has a sewer waste line that is dumping out literal feces into the beach water making the shallow water brown and the whole beach reeks of sewage. Besides the food and drinks being mediocre and the beach unswimmable, everything else is pretty good."
