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.

Absolutely Loved the Entertainment!

amazing service intense game family favorite
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.

Solid Stay Near the Action

sister hotels helpful staff free 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.
Dining

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.
Rooms

The rooms were a good size, though the décor felt a bit outdated. My room included tea and coffee facilities. I needed to request tea and coffee. Milk wasn't included initially though was provided after request.
