The room service was okay! I had to ask them to refill the body-wash and shampoo, but they didn’t seem to care after following up twice with housekeeping. The variety of food at the restaurants was amazing! We tried five different places: Casa Bella, Italian, El Olive, Mediterranean, Limbo, French, M.E.A.T - Steakhouse, and Yurta, Mongolian. Casa Bella was the worst because the pastas had no taste. All of those places were amazing! The buffets were nice too!
