You had to make reservations to eat, including breakfast. That is very hard to do and inconvenient when you are traveling in on vacation. We were told that we could grab food and bring it back to our rooms if we wanted. There was no daily room cleanup service. When my husband went to go pick up dinner to bring it back to the room the restaurant was empty, and when he went to go sit at one of the tables to wait for the food to be prepared, since there was not a phone number to call and order the food, he was told he could not sit. We thought that was pretty weird. Outside of that with a short drive you were dear many things. We were there in summer, so not a lot going on at our resort and the surrounding area you would have to go to the next village over for most things.
