Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm giving it a 10 out of 10. Really, 10 out of 10. The food was great. The service was great.

The service was the best I've ever had on any Leo deck.

Costamaya is really just it's underwhelming is the nicest way I can put it. A dump is another word you can use.

Kazamel, on the other hand, was awesome as usual.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Ask for cheese plates for the table in the main dining room as an appetizer.
✓Book beach club reservations in advance, as they can sell out.
✓Consider staying at Hilton properties for points and perks.
