The AC at my room was extremely noisy, it woke us up many times at night. The service for breakfast at its restaurant was very slow, we waited 40' just for someone to take our order and the place wasn't full. The resort fee $60 PER DAY includes one welcome drink but noone offered it, we just read it after 2 days in the general information
