i enjoyed my stay. the staff was friendly and helpful. they have golf carts for transport around the steep resort and lifts to different levels. i found breakfast and buffet dinners had great choices with daily changes and many vegetarian options. i also ate at the poseidon restaurant on site. the food and service were amazing there. they accommodated my needs and were very friendly.

the hairdryer in the room wasn't very strong so it took a while to dry my hair.
