Summary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryGrand Muthu Forte Da Oura is a hotel that frequently claims a five-star rating, yet many guests have had experiences that lead them to question this classification. Numerous reviewers highlight a disparity between their expectations and the reality, suggesting that the hotel would more accurately align with a three-star rating. There is a consistent mention of the hotel's need for renovation, indicating that the decor and maintenance fall short of luxury standards. The outdated rooms and furnishings contribute to the impression that the hotel is not meeting the criteria expected from a five-star establishment.

Despite boasting various facilities, the quality and variety of amenities such as the kitchen and arcade games appear lacking. The quality-to-price ratio seems to be a common concern, with guests expressing that the hotel does not offer good value for money. Noise issues, stemming from lively guest activities, particularly during bachelor and bachelorette parties, exacerbate the dissatisfaction, detracting from an otherwise relaxing stay.

The hotel does feature an inviting entrance hall, but this seems to be one of the few highlights as described by guests. Overall, it appears that this venue requires critical updates and a closer alignment with the luxurious offerings typical of other five-star hotels to meet guests' expectations and justify its current rating.

Specific comparisons were made between the food offerings and the advertised five-star experience with many finding the meals and snacks did not meet their expectations.
