The staff was excellent except housekeeping. I was there for 3 days, and bed was never made or sheets changed. Food in the morning was never hot, each morning food was luke warm at best.

We went during the week. Most of the boutiques and eateries were closed. The nice steakhouse was under construction and the adult pool had such a nasty film on top of it. I wouldn't even get in it
