With nine restaurants to choose from, guests are spoiled for choice, although two restaurants are by reservation and incur an extra charge.

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.
