    Overall, my experience was OK but not 100% the best. The food was great. The restaurant was beautiful however, one of the workers at the hotel or restaurant walked up to me and told me that on my birthday I am not allowed to take pictures or photos inside of the restaurant if I want to take pictures I have to go and take pictures outside and I am not allowed to use a camera with a lens or a flash, although I seen other people of another color being able to use their camera and take pictures and do things, but not me never heard of this before…. And also, they told me that if I wanted to take pictures, I had to book a photographer through their website. ….. I had a small digital camera with the same amount of flash or less as an iPhone.…
