"The sheets were dirty. Evening entertainment can be better. I think that’s the the main thing people go to a resort to have a grand-show at night. The hotel doesn’t have any shows. Also the Japanese restaurant was so inattentive to us. The food was little and forgot to give us the soup and the chef set aside a big plate and send it back to the kitchen."
