The amenities were awesome for the kids and the food was really great, maybe some of the best resort food I've had in awhile for an all-inclusive. The beds left something to be desired though...not quite the relaxing plush on-vacation beds we have experienced elsewhere which left something to be desired. One note to the resort: seems like the male staff had a lot of the waitstaff roles (ie, and would get tips) vs the females. Would be nice if women also had the chance to serve and get tips similar to their male counterparts.
