The food and Drinks are great, service is excellent. We only did the 'Dream continues' tour and our guide was really great and enthusiastic about the park and the story of the original owners/family. The only down full was the weather it rained most of the day and the ground is uneven and unpaved, sandy in most spots, but we were provided with umbrellas to use anywhere in the park :) It was a long way from our resort, so it was the only place we went to, and someone in our little group wanted to see other places :)
