We loved the restaurant staff. The reception staff were fine, but not as welcoming or helpful as others were on the trip. They were often not around. We had two rooms, but they were in separate buildings. One room was far superior from the other - the beds were far more comfortable, and there weren't any bugs. The smaller room was next to a room under construction, which may have lead to the small bugs all over the bathroom and all over the furniture (tv desk area). They were harmless, but it was gross. We loved the pool the tranquility of the hotel, but there wasn't much nearby for another dinner.
