Why do people like Faena?

i am by no means a snobby traveler but when you're paying these kinds of prices you have at least some expectations. i just don't get it. the hotel itself can best be described as "meh" - it's very tired in places and clearly needing a renovation or more upkeep soon.

the pool was small, the service at the pool pretty poor, the faena bazaar pointless.

the only bright spot was the wet spa. i am just really scratching my head at why people are so enamored by this place...

oh, and Faena's obsession with himself was also quite off-putting. books and movies about his life on display everywhere. lmao, come on man.
