You can't beat the location of this hotel. The taxi door men are excellent. The pool area was very nice for the family, with many life gaurds, it feels very safe. It is unfortuate that the pool closes at 5:00 p.m. and that poolside dining ends at 3:30. But they work hard to check in with you on a regular basis. It as a shame there is no longer the dolphin and animal areas but maybe the Hard Rock ownership will bring something new. Check in could use some additional staffing. You should not have to wait in line for 20-30 minutes just to check in. Everything else was great. Good entertainment, good food, good service.
