π³πΎββοΈ Salem's Take: Honest Budget Choice
Let's be real: Sunny Days El Palacio is a budget hotel. It's not trying to be the Ritz. But here's the thing β for β¬55-70 per night all-inclusive, you get a pool, beach access, buffet meals, and drinks included. For many families, that's exactly what they need.
Is the food gourmet? No. Are the rooms modern? No. But if you're spending most of your time at the pool and beach anyway, does it matter?
