Pros +
- Very nice resort
- One of the best hotelsl I have ever stayed at. Definitely deserves the 5 star rating.
- The attentive staff and cleanliness of the hotel
Cons -
- Resort fees! Just charge me for the room. These charges are a joke and make the Marriott look like a robbery.
- They charge you extra for late checkout. I thought that was a bit tacky.
