Food was really good and their are four restaurants to choose from. We flew with Firstchoice and upgraded to premium economy it... more

The facts- We booked three Ocean View Rooms, What we received was one room with an ocean view, but two of the rooms had no ocean view. One room overlooked a... more

We took notice of the negative reviews, but went into the trip with an open-mind. We arrived after a mostly uneventful flight to beautiful, sunny weather. I highly recommend... more
