| The relaxed atmosphere consumes one, We stayed in 20N and could look down into the water and viewe rays and turtles. If you like excellant food this is the place. I usually hate buffets but the quality and freshness was unmatched in my travels. There are nights that one orders off the menu and the items from the sea were splendid. Fresh salads,fruit,bread,desserts numerous in variety. They had a gallon of Pain Killer mixed for those that dare at the bar. Oh yes for the ladies they served champagne every morning at breakfest which is included in standard meal plan.
