Resort is gorgeous but a 15 minute walk / $8 uber from anything off-site because the property is so huge. Uber from airport to resort was under $30 USD (uberX). All staff encountered were super friendly and helpful. Free chilled water always available throughout. Concierge printed off maps for us and gave advice. We had a package from Amazon delivered during our stay with no issues. UberEats delivers a good variety of food to the hotel but they have to be met in the lobby for pick up due to hotel policy. Grocery delivery available via an outside service but with 72hr lead time. Butterfly garden is free but basically just a group of colouful plants - no guarantee of seeing butterflies. There is a sort of convenience store on-site but selection is quite limited and be prepared for one 500ml soft drink costs $4 USD. Pool is sublime (tubes for lazy river are $10-$20 purchase price if part of a convention, free if just a regular guest). Any hotel-provided food we had was delicious and well-cooked. Two hot tubs on-site among the pool area. Lots of shaded areas to sit and relax by pool. Outdoor pool table and foosball. Get a map of resort at reception; things are closer in reality than they appear to be on the map.
