| - This hotel is beautiful! Wonderful, friendly staff...definitely a big thumbs up on service!
Our room was clean, beautiful views, comfortable beds - BUT! I can hear my next door neighbors...It wasn't any babbling through the walls, but a clear understanding of their conversations...It was late, and we didn't want the television on, but, now that I think about it, it would have been a good idea. The walls MUST be thin...definitely not acoustically well insulated...Don't dare of think of doing any hanky panky here, or even inviting a few friends over in the evenings...For me that would be a No-NO! We were also trying to keep our 4 year old from being too noisy.
Where's my free coffee? No free coffee?? To use their prepacked coffee cups is $5!! I'm so utterly disappointed. Normally these are the freebies!
OK, nagging put aside...I have to say, I enjoyed the shoppes linking the Mandalay Bay to the Luxor. I bought me some shoes, and my hubby had the privilege of meeting Pete Rose in the Art of Music store. For that alone, he loves his place.
The other BIG PLUS was the hotel's great pools, spas, sandy beach/wave pool AND the lazy river!!! There is no inner tube rental...They are only provided if you chose to rent a $350 per day cabana...The other option, which we did, was purchase the inner tubes from the surf shop - $18 for the small, $22 for the large...I thought they were cool, so I purchased one...
I really appreciated the non-peak season atmosphere...it was wonderful!
I had to give this place only 3-stars because I could not get over the thin walls....Sheez, I had to be on my best behavior! Imagine that!!
