The gym was a letdown. Some equipment was out of order. this limited my workout options considerably. also, the poolside service could be much faster. Sometimes, waiting for a drink took a while.

Dayana and Joa, along with the whole entertainment team, gave us amazing service. I even played a very intense game of table tennis! The Opera Night in Piccadilly was a family favorite. The vibes during the activities were fantastic.
Alternative milk options were not available. the waiters are helpful.

The hotel features seven restaurants with international cuisine and offers convenient hotel transfers to those locations. There is also a beautiful walking path that leads directly to the beach and the hotel location is perfect, situated between the old town and the new town.

Solid Stay Near the Action
sister hotelshelpful stafffree safe
The hotel provided access to other MGM facilities, so we used sister hotels closer to the beach. The staff were always helpful and attentive to our needs. I appreciated the free safe in the room. It added to the security of our belongings.
The food quality at the buffet was inconsistent and repetitive. I noticed a lack of variety, particularly for children.

The all-inclusive dining included a BBQ near the pool for lunch. I observed the outdoor BBQ area was open for limited hours. A sandwich shop named Monica's offered additional options, though these options were quite limited.
