A: We entered Hulas Modern Tiki and immediately felt the wind Leave our sails. This A Frame style building resembles a cabin more than a tiki bar. Very sterile and no cozy island vibe. I ordered a Mai Tai. It arrived sour and unpalatable. The waitress offered to replace it with another drink. I ordered the Tropical Itch, suggested by the bartender who said it was a sweet drink. Again, a sour drink. Perhaps a mixer/juice was bad. We ordered the Crispy Coconut Shrimp Rolls and the Abalone Style Calamari. The calamari was good, but a bit soft from improper frying. The coconut shrimp rolls were outstanding. We opted to skip the main course and go to dessert. We ordered the Coconut Creme Pie. The pie was not the custard type but more of a cheesecake. After getting a large glob of cream cheese which I had to sneak from my mouth to my napkin, we gave up and asked for our check. The 2 stars are 1 for the shrimp rolls and 1 for our waitress. We are leaving here disappointed and in need of a Good drink and dinner. This was a $40 lesson.

A: We picked this place thinking that it would be similar to our Marriott Canyon Villa. We had a lock-off available so we booked this place..WOW what a disappointment. Converted apartment complex, old furnishing, no internet, no elevators. Dirty couches, extremely old bathroom. A very depressing place, which we only stayed a few days and book the rest of our week at the Canyon Villas...I will never book a week at a Diamond Resort again. This is the second time we stayed at one and it was disgusting. We did spend a couple nights in the Desert Oasis, a brand new unit absolutely beautiful... So if you like old, crappy units this one is for you.

A: Disappointing. Im going to start my review of Ming's Pagoda on a positive note. The service at Ming's Pagoda was quick and the staff was accomdating, the food however was not good. The egg drop soup was thick and lacked flavor and the wontons were stale and challenging to chew. On my first visit to Ming's Pagoda I had the lemon chicken. The lemon chicken was very disaponting. The coating was crunchy but the chicken was dry, not moist at all, and there was just to much lemon sauce placed over the chicken. My lunch companion had the chicken lo mein. The noodles were somewhat greasy and once again the chicken was dry. The fried rice, eggrolls, and fried wontons were equally disappointing. Not the best restaurant experience.

A:
Yogurt's good, but I wish there were a real ice cream store around here. They's all gone the way of "healthy living," it seems. Menchie's has good yogurt, but serving oneself can be expensive...it's all weighed.
