Book your dining experience well in advance
So popular are the Á la carte restaurants, some guests were concerned that reservations needed to be made two days in advance of their meal to secure a spot. A little bit of meal planning may be required.
negative:
Disappearing Sun
Guests who like to spend significant time sunbathing were a little disappointed that the sun disappeared behind the very tall buildings within the hotel complex. However, public beaches are also a short walk from the hotel should sunbathing be a priority.
negative:
No Tea and Coffee in Rooms
Whilst tea and coffee is provided free in public areas, some guests looking for their immediate morning coffee buzz were disappointed they could not get this in their room instead having to hunt for coffee in the lobby or poolside.
