    Our dinner took forever and when it arrived at our table it was cold by then we were so hungry we just ate it. The salad alone took 35 minutes and the server told us that the same guy who makes the salads is the same person that makes all the dessert that's why it takes a long time to get your summons. Overall the food service is all horrible and very expensive for the quality. We will not eat at this restaurant again even if we stay at this hotel we will look for another restaurant nearby.

    You would think for Valentines especially for the for the price the ambiance and tables the “experience” would be better. They threw together an upstairs conference room, with unstable plastic round tables and conference chairs put a white table cloth and dubbed special. The room was very bright as well abnormally bright no ambiance. The food was great!! The experience for $400 was very lacking.

    They had a valentines menu that was very limited and highly deceiving (there were no prices). We were sat upstairs in a meeting room with portable tables and the food arrived cold and didn’t have much flavor (literally the main my gf got was a pesto pasta that had hardly any pesto - no protein or anything). It was the quality of food I expect from a lower-tier all-inclusive resort in Mexico. The food came in insanely small portions, and with one drink each, still came out to $350 with a 15% tip. I’ve never felt so played - not to mention we spent another $100 going out to eat after because we were left so hungry. Will not ever go back and highly do NOT recommend.

    Not at all what they show in photos. They did not tell us anything about prix fix menu before hand and did not have any regular menu. We drove down 90 minutes for nothing
