Summary: Room was nice, however it was next to the theater so it was loud at night. Food was limited and mediocre at the buffet. No poolside service. Seemed like they were short staffed everywhere. The snack bar food was awful and it took about 40 minutes to get a pulled pork supposedly ( the meat was cut into chunks) and cold French fries.
