• Some guest feedback mentions cabana pricing, upsells, and premium items despite the all-inclusive positioning.
• Dining receives mostly positive feedback, but some guests find select restaurants or buffet timing inconsistent.
• Wedding groups, evening entertainment, and pool activity can create noise variability depending on room location.
