Farro, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

There are not many food options and what is available isn’t good. Everything closes super early including the pool and they don’t let people on the beach after a certain time as well. No one that works there speaks English and if I didn’t have friends that spoke Spanish with me I would’ve had a much harder time.
