2. It's very hard to get lounge chairs near the pool where you can see your kids swimming, though.

3. The strange hair in the shower was a nice touch, but hey, those things are pretty small and hard to see.

4. The staff were all working really hard to replenish the trays, but the buffet area was too small and there weren't enough staff to keep things moving along.

5. All that being said, this is family fun at it's best, on a great beach and with staff that are very friendly, well trained, and work hard to deliver.

6. The smiling staff which hosts the $75 breakfast buffet of cold eggs, hard breads and impressive line up of mostly empty food warmers, smile as you flip open lids, much like trying to guess under which cup the pea is hidden under at a magic show.

7. Valets and bellmen work hard on pleasing and informing you.

9. Also, the pool (A very long walk and TWO elevator rides, another long walk and very hard to navigate) was fine once you found it butnot amazing at all according to reviews.

10. Room service sent us a bug in our salade, a brownie that was hard as a rock and under cooked chicken, and these are well reknowned chefs? No one called to see if we were alright.
