I completely agree with you. Price value is really going downhill.

O and o the palm used to be my favorite but even there you get just too much construction on opposite beaches, traffic is worse than ever (if you want to levae the hotel for dinner etc - long drives) and the prices are nuts for what you get.

And i still hate the fact that you cant have anything to eat at the pool or beach.

Didnt like the four seasons that much either...
Wondering if al naseem is worth visiting and looking forward to the bulgari... might be nice.
