Staff was very nice, except when they kicked us out after check out. We had to leave for the airport 6 hours before our departure time instead of sitting by the pool for the day. Very inconsiderate given the fact we paid for this whole day.

The room, amenities, food and staff were great but the emergency alert alarm and flashing lights went off 3 times in the middle of the night. Usually around 330am and 430am. This was very disruptive to sleep and it happened the first night we arrived after a long travel day which was very frustrating. Otherwise was a great stay!

Everything was amazing at the property except 2 things. No one came with use to show us the room. They gave us the map and thats all. The fire alarm rang 3-4 time at night around 2am and 3am .

The hotel was beautiful. Food options were good. We tried the Mexican, steak restaurant, Liberia, and the Asian restaurant. Everything was very delicious. The only issue I had was with housekeeping. They did not changed our towels. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

Only problem is trying to eat at the steakhouse and Asian restaurants they need a better system. Couldn’t eat because it was always full. In order to eat you need to make a long line and see if you can get in. They don’t have reservations. Besides that the hotel was great.

Food can be improved. Food Labels were not correct. Specialize restaurants were just copy of the mai buffet. They could be La carts. Otherwise everything was good. Zero star for food.
