Used to be the best

Not surprised about the slow service at the bar. It’s been that way for the past year. Took an hour to get dinner and had to remind them of food we ordered that they forgot so it was another 30 minutes. Chairs at pool were moldy and towels were damp. Tons of ants around chairs and we were bit so many times we left the pool. The duvet had blood marks on it and when it slipped off the duvet cover we noticed it. Couldn’t get in the wet bar because the lock was stripped. Other than that is was okay.
