More bare tenders are needed when it's an all inclusuve stay.
Pros:

We have stayed at this hotel for 25 years. Good food, pleasant staff and entertainment.

Cons:

We paid extra for gold bands. Unfortunately, on friday night there was utter chaos. The queue for the bar was as far back as the rear entrance.
If the bar tenders are making cocktails and shots, it's evident more staff are required.
Also, there needs to be a sign over the door leading to the ladies toilet. The amount of ladies going behind the black curtain is relentless.
All inclusive should include snacks at lunchtime.

Pros:

The service from all the staff in the reception, bars and restaurant was excellent. They were very polite and professional. All of the entertainers were excellent, including Buddy Lee, all the singers, dancers and the comedian. The choice from the buffet and main menu was very good. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will return. We would highly recommend it.

There was nothing we didn't like.
