Review summary

The cost was not worth the experience, there were additional charges for everything. The advertisement for $250-350 pp is completely false. Add $60/d pp if you’d like cocktails and $10 day/pp if you want soda or bottled water. Otherwise tap water it is!

Food was mediocre at best. Buffet was shut down for long periods of time and by 10am breakfast is over and you’re out of luck. The deli staff were rude and nasty
