The Monday morning, I had breakfast at the poolside restaurant, wait staff was poorly trained and seemed a bit overwhelmed. The afternoon wait staff that same day was much better. Hats off to Katie! It is clean and relatively quiet. Some morning noise from neighborhood leaf blowers. California tourism taxes are extreme!
