English is a weak point among the staff, and management is not quick to respond to special requests.

The oversized rooms and suites are deluxe, but you need to decide if you’d prefer to be where the action is—closer to reception, restaurants, and the casino—or you could choose to be closer to the beach, rooms like a three-bedroom, rock star suite overlooking the Caribbean.
