Yeah, the place was really spectacular. As a Hilton member, it was a huge blessing that someone else built it sparing no expense at all, went bankrupt, and then Hilton has had this jewel of a property for so many years now. Shall we take a boat or a train to our room? Choices...
Even this past March, we walked over there and walked the grounds. It still looks great, but I was surprised at how few actual people I saw at the pools and outdoor restaurants. Only thing I can think of is that they're trying to price it as a luxury property and it's not really that...it's a giant resort with an upscale, but not luxury, vibe.
