It's not worth it. I don't care who you are. Especially if you are a woman.
If I had to go there for work or something I would absolutely not allow my wife to go with me. Women who are RAPED by (often) hotel staff go to jail for months to YEARS for "sex outside of marriage".

They make it sound like it's all progressive and awesome but from people I know who've been there, the place sucks.

First order thinking, basically NPC level stupid.
