    Amazing!

    The stay was simply amazing. The food was top tier with many options. The staff became family especially Alex at the front and Alexander in the buffet. The ONLY issue I experienced was because I booked through a third party which only included one person per room and we had to pay $600 for each additional person and we had three rooms and two people per room. That was a large unexpected fee.
