Creator's Key Takeaways

I can't comment on those. Just on the tapus night, I didn't see any tapas.

I love the local. Here's my big tip that I keep screwing up myself. Don't go to the local for lunch on day one.

It's a nice place to grab something to eat for lunch or dinner if you're on the pool deck and you don't want to go to the buffet.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check your freestyle daily for restaurant hours and any staggered openings.
Avoid the local for lunch on day one due to crowding and cold food.
Use the observation lounge for light meals and a quiet atmosphere.
