10/10 Excellent
"The staff was amazing and courteous. The bartender Humberto was awesome. The staff remembered my birthday and did a great display with a piece of cake in my room. Area is convenient. The only down side was that the pool was closed due to renovations but that's ok. Would definitely recommend."
