The proximity to Universal is wonderful. Love the water taxis. They run constantly and there is practically no wait. The express passes to Universal were a HUGE benefit! The beds are very comfortable. The rooms are very clean. Every staff member is polite and friendly. The grounds and pools are absolutely beautiful. You really feel like you have stepped into an Italian village. I would definitely stay here again. I didn't want to leave
The property is very large and you have to walk a lot to get to where you are going. The buildings need more elevators

Amazing views and professional staff.
Had a little issue with the food manager. Took my order wrong. It showed up and I called them, told them they sent me an extra portion. I was told not to worry, then While my wife & I were eating I was called again and told they needed to come take the unordered portion. They came to the room, disturbing our meal to take it.. He made it seem like he was implying I sort thousands here but needed to steal a hamburger. A bit insulting and unprofessional. The other staff made up for it though.
