Well i have been in this hotel for many years. But it has lost the friendly hosting. Janitors and front desk no issues they were very nice and rooms cleaned. - i couldnt order ice for my cooler and they dont sell ice either. They only offer ice for room service and only offer a small bucket. - the waiting staff in the pool restaurant during breakfast is terrible. I ordered coffee 3 times after 30 min i got coffee. - dinner choice i ordered the food it took 1 hour to be served and when i asked the waiter she responded with an attitude and a high tone voice said the dinner was put in only 45 min ago and i have to wait….Not a way to talk to a customer - when i checked in they didnt take a card so everytime i wanted to order somthing i need to pay for it on the spot. I wanted to relax and on the contrary the service made me unsettled and uncomfortable. I think its the management and process work flow of the hotel it lost the care of the customer needs and made the process so commercial driven. I felt i was in a supermarket t trying to get the things i wanted instead of being served and relax with the family. Instalations are nice but service was not good

The Hotel is very nice, The staff is very friendly and competitive but Expedia is promoting a false advertising. This place is not all inclusive, VIP doesn’t exist!! I spent my whole vacation waiting for Expedia to “resilve” the issue necer heard from them!! Thinking about if I would use Expedia again to buy my vacation.
