mixed feelings about the stay

nice poolcold foodfire alarm
the pool was nice for the kids.
The food in the restaurant wasn't hot, and when i mentioned it to a waitress, she said she would tell our server. no one ever came. also, a fire alarm went off twice during the night. It really scared my young kids.

Wonderful Stay

amazing foodprofessional personfamily poolcold shower
My dinner was the highlight I found the food amazing. The person who showed us to our seats was professional and accommodating. My family loved the pool there.
I noticed there was no hot water in the shower one morning. It was very disappointing in such a nice hotel. A cold shower was not how I wanted to start my day.
