"The Coral is tired. We had them switch our rooms initially because our balcony looked down upon what we coined the floor of despair. It seemed to be an unoccupied area that was in dire need of Cleaning. Once we switched rooms, our view was incredible. However, every night we would have to call downstairs to have assistance shutting the sliding glass door.

However, I did notice a significant decline in service compared to our first stay. Throughout our time there whether leaving our room, grabbing coffee, enjoying lunch by the pool or beach, or dining in the restaurants the staff did not seem as welcoming or engaged. In the past, what stood out most was how kind, soft-spoken, and genuinely warm the employees were.
