The food at the main Buffett hall was delicious for every meal while we were there. The staff were very friendly and engaging for entertainment. The room was terrible. Beds were uncomfortable. Sliding doors to the bathroom and terrace didn’t work without hard work. We arrived to not enough towels and the sheets all had stains. The bathroom had not been cleaned as there was urine stains on the toilet. The rooms look like a motel off the highway. They also didn’t have the room that we reserved when we booked 2 months earlier. The beach was great and the pools are nice and open 24 hours but they are not cleaned often. The sports bar was great for end of the night fun with the family. Games to play and sports to watch. Lots of entertainment throughout the day which was good.

Some of the staff members were very nice, but some of them weren’t. Also, the towels in the room were always dirty, smelling really bad. They, didn’t refill the body wash until my last day. Finally, didn’t like it.
