Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff is wonderful. But there food and beverage prices are way over priced and price is different for same exact thing at different locations in hotel. It was annoying and felt like deliberately trying to rip people off. Coke in restaurant, $4 Coke in Bar $8, Coke at tables $5. That’s a single soda. Costs more here than in US l, especially on alcohol. Avoid eating or drinking here at all costs. But good for casino and some more entertainment options. I won’t be staying there again because of it.
