Very nice resort. Very friendly and helpful staff. Perhaps you could have your room access on your wristband rather than having to carry room and towel cards with you.

Clean hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was good. Little confusion with à la carte reservation. Even though it was no booking, just walk in it is difficult to anticipate the availability. The food was not the best at à la carte.
