Average Stay, Service Issues

slow check-inunethical attendant
The check-in process took longer than expected. A problem with the room reservation caused a delay. I also encountered issues with the service at the pool bar. An attendant tried to add other guests' drinks to my bill. This was unethical and unprofessional. The salad I ordered at the bar was also very disappointing.
