Fun hotel, love the pool area. Caesar at concierge was amazing. Good food options, reasonably priced. Front desk staff was not friendly or helpful. Terrace and swim club bars supposed to both be open at 11. Neither have staff, bar tender ignored me 3-4 times before finally acknowledging I was waiting. ?short staffed vs not friendly.
