"Everything was so lovely on the Azul Project! Our first night was a bit rough because there was a gale warning and the wind/water was a lot for these landlubbers, but once the weather settled down and the water was calm, we thoroughly enjoyed our time on the boat. It was incredibly relaxing; communication with our host was fabulous; the area felt safe and was super easy to navigate. Thank you to Gia for hosting us; we'll be sure to recommend and will be back!

Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination

Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good
"The room’s sheets/bedding was used and unchanged when we checked in. We tried calling for service in the room to change the bedding, but could not get through to a live person. We also requested clean bedding through the text service, and someone arrived pretty quickly to change the bedding. They did extra cleaning we didn’t request also like re mop floors. Very courteous. The tiled floor was exceptionally clean, but there was visible pink mold in the shower that needed to be attended to. The overall facility was kept clean and maintained pretty well. I appreciated the two Starbucks available as well as a couple eateries. We tried the food court, Selu cafe, and Guy Fieri’s. All REALLY good food! Selu is in need of new furniture though. The food courts ice cream and waffle cones were very fresh. Everything we had there was good quality and tasty. There are not many healthy options in the food court unless you go with the previously prepared foods like cold sandwiches, but the market sandwich was absolutely delicious on great whole grain bread! Loved it! The casino area was kept quite clean and appeared to be well attended to. We did not check out the pool area, but saw others coming and going from it. I’d definitely like to go again."
