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

Ok, but dated in places and slightly expensive. You are a captive audience and so you pay for the privilege. Would still recommend as it serves its purpose.

Robert

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room (shower in particular) smelled of sewage. And since housekeeping did not clean the bathroom or even vacuum, I guess no one knew until we stayed in the room. We had unpacked so I did not try to move rooms, so I don't know if this is common. Housekeeping just made the bed - did not even give us fresh cups and glasses. I would have preferred no housekeeping and then would not have had expectations of a clean room. I should have complained earlier in our stay, but I kept thinking it was a one-off issue and would get better.
