mixed experience, some issues

limited buffet exposed electrics
the service proved inconsistent. breakfast was somewhat underwhelming, lacking variety i had hoped for. the advertised kids menu did not exist and the bathrooms showed wear, with exposed jacuzzi electrics causing some worry. overall, the visit did not match expectations set by previous stays i've had.
