Property was beautiful overall and the staff were very kind! They are very accommodating as well. they helped us with excursions, airport pick up/drop off, and have an amazing concierge. The food overall could have been better, but the Italian restaurant was amazing, It was more the buffet lunch and dinner that would've been better but overall similar to any other resort buffet.
