This modern property is in immaculate condition and has great potential. It is unfortunately let down by poor food (with some exceptions) and staff who were often rushing past, rather than rushing to, guests. The pools were great, Pepes and the steak house were great places to eat, and the staff at the lounge bar were awesome. These though were the exceptions. The lounge bar itself was a great place to sit and enjoy the atmosphere of the entertainment below but we were frustrated during our last 2 nights when other guests brought their speakers along and played them loud to drown out the entertainment. This shouldn’t be allowed but staff did not care to do anything, fairly typical of the experience overall.

We enjoyed how beautiful and clean the hotel was. The staff was professional and always will to assist. We did utilize the Elite amenity, which I thought the Elite pool was not that great comparing it to the other three. I would have like to see more of a night life, entertainment and music at, this hotel, to avoid going to other hotels.
