I stayed for four nights. i got a fruit basket, cake and wine complimentary as a lovely gesture. the breakfast each morning at salt & pepper had lots of choice. A fresh egg station was available. i ate twice at the gusto italian restaurant, the steak was cooked perfectly!
after 3:30 pm, there's no food available on the all inclusive package until 6:30 pm. it would have been nice to have some nibbles available between this time, though

Satisfactory Experience

The room was cleaned every day. The staff at the reception was helpful all the time! An ATM machine at the hotel simplified things if I needed to withdraw cash.
The all-inclusive package was disappointing, I think. The drink selection needs improvement. Morgan's on an evening allows smoking, and it is very difficult to avoid. This stinks!
