Checking in was a very slow process. There weren't a lot of people in front of us, but it seemed to take the staff, behind the counter, a long time with each guest. Our room was very nice and the balcony was private, like most of them. We took advantage of the spa and had the 90 minute massage - it was ok. We really liked the pool itself, the staff not so much. Not once in the number of times we were there did someone come around to offer us a drink, we had to go to the pool bar each time. The food at the hotel was very good. I would suggest including the breakfast buffet in with your room - the selection is enormous! The staff at both breakfast and dinner were excellent. My only complaint is that at dinner we were seated next to a toddler who cried and carried on the whole time. If this were Denny's i'd understand, but for a regular dinner costing $200 I don't think so. My overall impression is that the hotel/spa itself was very pleasing, the staff is not.
