Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Main ding food was not good. The servers told us several times that certain items were NOT good. We did let them know our feelings about quality. They did take care of us on the last night. Not holding it against them, but rather the Head chef.

Went to the Mayan ruins. San Gervasio. Good, but not the best. Didn't want to travel too far.
