I stayed last year at the same time and found a few things to be different. First the buffet, though good, was NOT as good as last year. It has declined from "SUPERB" to "GOOD". A year ago, I was able to take the short walk to the mall in a beautiful lush landscape. This time, I had to walk through a smelly, dank, dark parking garage: not acceptable! The staff, as last year, were OUTSTANDING
