underwhelming stay despite some positives

inattentive staff excessive prices
The service was definitely lacking. staff didn't seem particularly attentive, and getting assistance sometimes seemed like a chore (it shouldn't be that hard to get a drink by the pool!). also, the food prices felt a bit steep for what you got. It was decent, but not worth the premium, in my opinion. i think some improvements in these areas could really elevate the experience.
