The food is average to bad. The deserts are the worst. Great variety of nothing to write home about.
Room wasn't always stocked properly.
I did not like the staff. They all seemed overworked and all over the place. They did not know how to communicate. In English... terrible and in Spanish as well. That was definitely disappointing.
Improve the customer service
I'm fairly certain our room had bedbugs which was upsetting for obvious reasons.
