The staff was great, the room was good, and ease of getting around was nice. The only disappointment was dining options (timing). If you did day tours you need to plan food accordingly as many options close really early leaving only the big and expensive buffet at the resort. If you don't want a large meal you need to travel (in the heat in summer) to other locations for food. The on-site grocery was a help. Resort had really nice services and amenities.

This was a down at the heels place with a distinct odor, few options for meals, clueless staff who were unable to give any information about what to do and where to go. Not worth the upgrade. Better service in town from visitors center. One day enough and study beforehand
