This is a beautiful resort and has tons of food, drink, nightlife and entertainment options. But, we were here 5 years prior and had a way better experience.
This time, as a LEVEL guest (VIP) we only had one VIP restaurant and one VIP bar. Normally this is fine. Only VIP's can eat or drink in these places. But, these were also the only places we could get "top shelf" liquor as part of our Level package. The rest of the bars wanted us to pay for better alcohol. Our VIP wristbands got us no additional privileges outside of the VIP lounge.
Additionally, we stayed on the Adults-Only side, which caused at least two issues. First, the nightlife stopped at around 10 or 10:30 on the Adults-Only side. For some reason, the "family resort" (a quick walk through beautiful landscape and architecture) had dance parties and music until midnight or later. Kind of backwards if you ask me.
Secondly, our VIP wristbands did absolutely nothing on the family side. Not only would we have to pay for "top-shelf" liquor, but we couldn't even eat at the restaurants over there without paying. 5 years ago, that was not the case - we had the run of the place, eat wherever we wanted, drink whatever we wanted.
This issue is significant because there was ONE buffet option for breakfast on the adults-only side. It was good, but we had to eat at the same place everyday of our vacation. The only other option was the VIP restaurant where you ordered off a menu and that was it. We will not go back a 3rd time.
