While this resort is beautiful, world-class, it is the staff- Kristan and Veronica at the restaurant and Charles (Charlie?) who gave us insights on the art there who truly made our brief stay memorable and exceptional.

It's a Monday in the middle of February. What could go wrong? Everything. Look the indidivual staff people are nice. But the concierge "desk' never answers the phone. They never made our dinner reservation. But worst of all, the "Ocean" view is in this dingy corner and you'd need the neck of a giraffe to see the water. They say they have no room to move me--even though I could roll a bowling ball down this place, it's so empty. Bottom line; they just don't want to make people happy.
