Hi Louiseanne,
Sorry, I can't quote from previous thread, but, just wanted to ask who you booked with & whether they will move you to another moderate or even de-luxe resort foc before you do it yourself. If you do do it yourself - Pop century is a lovely resort with big food court and good shop, you can also walk across/round the lake to AoA and use the food court there which has imo a lot better food choices than PC. 😊 |
