The service was all great with the exception of the french restaurant. I personally wouldn't bother getting reservations for any of the restaurants. I would just stick to the buffet and room service (which is included). The food at the restaurants were either the same or worse than the buffet.

"Pros: The private pool and bar were exceptional. Beautiful, clean, friendly. The staff are all wonderful and helpful. Reception was excellent. Great drinks!! Everyone was sooooo nice and friendly. Cons: The beach is covered in seaweed, as is the water. So much so that we could not enter the ocean. The view is lovely, but it is not a “beach vacation.” The other not great issue is the food. Just not very good. "
