Unfortunately, the food quality was very disappointing. Most of the meals did not seem fresh, and the taste was not good at all. The only acceptable part was the breakfast buffet. Overall, the resort and service were excellent, but the food definitely needs significant improvement.

Great service! And love the live music at various points. Not a heavy party resort. Good for couples looking for a balance of relaxation and activities and rest.

The resort is stunning the service is unbelievable they actually anticipate all your request before you even ask just unbelievable service. We went for a 25th wedding anniversary and they made a very special and very grateful for the memories we have. The concierge's building 26 and building 27 were wonderful as well going above and beyond.
The food was not particularly good, but it’s a fantastic resort for a vacation!
