I used 40k points for a one night stay in a standard room and then applied an NUA for a penthouse vila, which was perhaps the best value I have received for using one of these instruments.

We found all the eating venues vastly overpriced so we we t into the city for a more authentic and much cheaper (probably 1/4 of the cost) experience.

The evening happy hour at one of bars was very popular and the cocktails were tasty.

Most things have been covered previously so I will just add my photos.
