slow drink serviceunclean public toilets
I wasnt happy with a few things. the service felt slow sometimes, especially when i ordered drinks by the pool. it often took over 20 minutes for drinks to arrive and they sometimes forgot part of the order. plus, i seemed like the public restrooms needed more attention. A number of stalls ran out of toilet paper and the sanitary bins were overflowing, it was a big issue for me, i would liked more frequent cleaning.
