First off, El Ben was fantastic and would or will stay again! The top thing was the excellent staff. (Johannes, Zion, Melvin, Freddy, Keith, Mike, Magdaleno and more who I’m surely skipping) So friendly and helpful! Food was great with enough choices and decent prices for the quality (chef was just booked for a wedding at another site because people loved his food). Easy free boat access across the split. Minor improvements that could make it better: make sure guests know to drink the bottled water instead of tap, add a few rolling umbrellas to the pools, and switching to refillable large soap/shampoo containers mounted in the shower might make it easier and eco-friendly. Again these are just improvements and not complaints, because we don’t have any complaints! North Side is great if you like peace and quiet for sleeping and relaxing but you are 5 minutes or less from the busier South Side when you want it.
