Sub-dimension scores weight category-specific signals — for restaurants we look at food and value mentions; for hotels at cleanliness and location; for beaches at water quality and facilities. Accessibility is weighted from verified wheelchair and mobility attributes.

Why we like it
We keep returning because La Baraca does what it does without fuss or pretense.

That consistency across nearly 600 reviews speaks louder than any marketing claim.
