Really bad waitstaff service!

The service by restaurant/pool bar waitstaff was terrible. One server flat out said what did he care if someone didn't like his lack of service? He could care less. That was a recurring theme. Once they brought you a drink or food, you didn't see anyone for more than an hour unless you flagged them down. We only had one really nice, attentive waitress in the big inside bar. The food was hit or miss. Also, the place was teeming with incredibly obnoxious "influencers". It was hard to avoid their bright flash photography blinding you everywhere. The hotel itself was beautiful. I loved the decor. If you want a cool looking hotel/pool and you don't plan on eating or drinking there or if you don't care if you get super crappy service, then you might enjoy it. I would actually go again, but I would go somewhere else for every meal.

My friend and I enjoyed an awesome and relaxing time at the hotel. The pool was wonderful and the service through out the hotel was fantastic. My only complaint was the our A/c did have a little issue that was fixed, and also the walls being thin. You could hear people slamming doors and music from down stairs. All together everything was perfect and I can’t wait to come back!
