Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room in the tower was clean and comfortable. There wasn't much of a variety for breakfast restaurants. The staff everywhere on the resort were friendly and kind. Nit much for evening entertainment. There was only karaoke and blackjack that alternated in the evenings...one night a 2 person band. The shows are really early and only in the buffet restaurant. The buffet restaurant food wasn't anything wonderful. The Mexican and Italian restaurants fir dinner were fabulous. The buffet by the beach was disgusting... the food covers would be open and birds eating right out of them... The entertainment/activities during the day were fun and there were a lot of things through the day.
