First 4 nights up until the power outage was good. A transformer blew up and knocked out the power. No updates were given as to when power would be restored. The restaurants and bar are overpriced. They charge you a pre tip at the bar and have the audacity to ask for more. Its a good place if you have deep pockets. Luckily there's a strip mall with a Publix ,First Watch, Dunkin, Liquor store, and CVS. Be prepared for alot of unnecessary fees and charges.
