The staff is excellent. The property is a distressed property that is being sold. It’s in I’ll repair and the staff is reduced and the restaurants and entertainment etc are greatly reduced and limited. The seaweed is rotting on the beach and smells like sewage. The rooms smell of mold. There are cats and birds all over the restaurants while you eat. Avoid this property until it is sold and redone.
