Everyone on the property was excellent except one waiter in the restaurant, I forget his name, was not very nice. We felt he wanted to leave even though the restaurant was supposed to be open until 11:00 pm. We got in late from our flight and decided to eat there. Other than that, everything else was great. The hotel and rooms were very clean.
