My stay was a mixed bag, with some positives like clean rooms and great pool service, but the overall experience was marred by poor organization and disappointing food. While the location was convenient, the dining options were lacking, and I faced issues with room allocation and service throughout my stay.
Rooms

The rooms were clean, yet I was disappointed to find we had two single beds instead of a couple's bed. The noise insulation was poor, making it hard to relax.
Service

The service was hit or miss. While housekeeping did a great job, other areas were lacking. There were often long waits to get assistance, and the reservation system for restaurants was frustrating.

Dining was one of the biggest letdowns. The food quality was poor, and the theme restaurants didn't live up to expectations. We often found items missing at buffets.
Facilities
