The food was mediocre and the entertainment was average. The casino was so smoky you couldn't stand to stay in for long. The bingo games were too expensive. Good shopping selections and excellent service, especially the dining staff.

Hot and dirty. The stores couldn't exchange american dollars and couldn't give change so we didn't get anything to eat while in port. Myan ruins were interesting.
