Good place. A lot of activities. Got upgraded to vip so that was nice . Only issue was that we arrived late and they didn't have room service and only restaurant open had like only 4 things to choose from and it was supposed to be buffet. Also we had to look for people to help us because unless u tipped them, they would ignore us.

Staff here are so friendly and service was great. Fabian took time to talk to us in the mornings, he was welcoming and kind. Mario at the Italian restaurant was funny and kind, and provided great service as well. Everyone did a great job, and work so hard. The accommodations are clean and the building is also clean throughout. We had a small issue with our room that came up mid way through our trip, but we were moved right away and there were no other problems. Thanks for a great stay.
