The pool had a good design and a decent size with plenty of sunbeds and towels available. The location was excellent, particularly because of the water taxi service to the parks. The hotel staff were lovely and very helpful. They enhanced the overall experience.

The water taxi service provided a great start to the day. The route to the parks was very pretty. The restaurant offered food that was beyond the standard options. The staff were super friendly and always ready to assist.
The coffee available in the rooms was too generic.

Location is decent. Room was not.

late check-inunacceptable noise
Check-in was a HUGE inconvenience. My room was not ready until after 4 PM. i found the noise levels unacceptable. My room was close to a staff area, so i heard constant banging and loud talking between 1 AM and 4 AM every night. I complained, and management offered credits. THAT was nice but did not solve the noise problem.
