The Empire Hotel & Country Club

Positiv: Instead of calling this a hotel, a more appropriate name should be a Palace. Have never seen anywhere else in the world where the color gold is used more extensively. Staff were always smiling and eager to help.

Negativ: The hotel was less than 25% occupied but yet when we asked for a room with an ocean view, our request was rejected. Food at the hotels are very expensive ($20 for a set of sushi, $20 for a caesar salad, $24 for a burger)

Positiv: Excellent customer service, very few people there so quiet and not crowded, movie theater on site

Negativ: Most of the pool area was being renovated and not available for use. We weren't informed ahead of time that this would be the case. The available pool area was nice and included the hot tub.
