    The food was delicious, appropriately priced and was worth every penny. This is some of the best sushi I’ve ever had and I’ve been overseas to Japan before. The fact this is right inside the resort makes it that much more appealing for someone that is looking for an all inclusive stay. The service was excellent, not pushy, not too scarce either. I would come back just to eat at that place again!
