Dinner
However, there were some aspects that received mixed reviews. While some guests expected an open buffet for dinner, they encountered a set menu instead. Additionally, the buffet dinner has been discontinued, which might impact expectations. A significant point of concern noted by several guests is the high prices at the restaurants and the pool café. There were also a few administrative hiccups, such as technical issues and unexpected charges.
