Servers needed in lounge. One person acting as bartender, host, server, manager. There was a pretty full bar and 20 seated for meals. Always have 2 on, at least. Also, we went to order more and told the cook closed kitchen to take his break. What? During dinner service hours? So, we didnt get more food. Maybe 2 cooks, too. The server wouldnt write anything down. Our party of four had 10 minutes to wait for menus, a forgotten coke ( Grandma) a forgotten cocktail ( husband) and totally skipped my Husband's Award-winning chil verde. She ordered it and it arrived after 2 entrees were eaten. Then my daughter ordered a burger but told no, cook's on break. Had to ask for check twice. Never offered another round, coffee, or dessert. My cranberry soda was grenadine like a Shirley Temple the second time...sigh. We had a similar experience here when we came NYEve. Things could be great with adequate coverage or management touchingvtables to turn the ship around. We spent $850 on two rooms and one dinner, 2 breakfasts, one nightcap round. So, 900 plus dollars. I wish we could recommend but if it improves please call me and I will try again. The facilities are gorgeous and I shared some of this and check-in problems with management I met on prem in morning. Thanks. We love the pool and gym. Both out of towels, tho on Monday.

Only one of the two rooms was reserved. Will have to pay for another room and call Travelocity to get a refund for that second room we already paid for:-(

We apologize for your less than exemplary stay. We strive to provide a seamless and relaxing experience. We are working on the guest room floor and will be updating the laminate to carpet in the near future which will improve some of the sound issues. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to provide better service in the immediate future.
