We were greeted by Christian as soon as we exited our vehicle. He was extremely friendly and made us feel like he was welcoming us home! The waiters and waitresses at The Agave, The Grill, and The Kitchen Table were very friendly. Felix B. at the Sports Bar was like a breath of fresh air. He always had a bright smile each and every time we visited the bar. The chicken wings were delicious! The waitresses and hosts at the Lobster House were extremely rude both times we ate there. Kassandra with the entertainment staff was so friendly! I loved her enthusiasm and she always wanted to make sure you were having an awesome time! The resort is gorgeous and well kept. My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay!
