I loved the amenities, how cleaned and luxurious the hotel is. One thing I was really upset was the treatment at the cove. I was waiting outside for an hour and no one came to offer me nothing or even to look at the menu. Everyone else was getting served and asked so often do you need anything ? But I had to call out for someone even when the workers were passing by me I was ignored. To be honest it felt very discriminating, I was the one Latina who was never offered anything. People in front or next to me kept getting served and getting all the service/attention. I couldn’t even get a water. It was very sad to see this kind of treatment specially with such a high rated hotel.
