mixed feelings about the stay
warm hospitalitylimited sunacceptable food
The staff provided warm hospitality. That met my expectations.
the room i received was not what i expected. the pool area only got sun until around 2pm. the food quality was acceptable, but it did not match what i would expect from a resort that calls itself 'luxury'.

Mixed Experience, Some Issues Noticed
great varietyslow bar serviceinappropriate behavior
The buffet's bread counter was great and featured the best variety I have ever seen.
I noticed several issues. The bar service in the evening was slow, often requiring a 30-minute wait. The manager grabbed and shouted at my six-year-old granddaughter for playing games. This was distressing for her. The staff seem under-trained and not prepared to handle the number of guests.
