“Beautiful hotel but limited food options and awful service”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

The resort itself is beautiful but can get a bit boring as there is not much entertainment at night. The restaurants are a bit disappointing - again no atmosphere and average food quality. One thing that astounded me was... More
