The only time you will need to spend money at the hotel is if you get your laundry done, use the internet ($10.00/hr), order lobster, buy gifts, and tip. You can clean out the mini bar of snacks and drinks every night and it will not cost you extra. We used to take all the Modelo out of the mini bar and give to the bartender in the lobby to keep cold for us. We did that because the Hotel only serves Corona. When we went in July '07 there were many families, this time in August there were many young singles. The buffet is very good but repetitive. They did have a Mexican Night and a Chinese night at the Buffet restaurant. The other three restaurants are great. The meals are creative and delicious. Would highly, highly recommend this hotel to all.
