"The quality of the food needs to be better. The spices restaurant needed air conditioning. It was very hot and what it worse it the time it took to actually get our food. It was over an hour. The best atmosphere and food was the Italian and sushi. The bread at the restaurants was good but the same bread and rolls at the breakfast bar was hard and stale as were the chips and desserts. The chips were really hard and stale. Ricky was very helpful in getting us our room and informing us of the daily activities. The property is beautiful as well as the beach. Everyone is always very friendly ."
