The service was impeccable! Every request was acted upon with positive outcome. The hotel property and amenities were wonderful! Beautiful and immaculately maintained. The staff and food at Nobu were amazing! Ayamna was a little disappointing because I was expecting much more belly dancing (based on past belly dancing restaurants I'd been to) but she only danced for about 5 minutes and then came back an hour later and danced for about 2 min. We ordered way too much food and I wish the waiter had given us a little more guidance when making our menu selections. The Swim with the Dolphins experience was fabulous. You get to interact with the dolphin a lot. The waterslides at the Waterpark were quite exciting. Even the "lazy river" innertube ride was exhilarating because it had lots of rapids and unexpected excitement! Read less
