mixed feelings about my stay

loud musicroom gap
The pool area was quite loud. animation music played starting at 10:00 am. i could hear it even at the beach (the music was irritating). there was also a 1cm gap under the door to the room. I heard everything from the hallway. the food at the restaurant was overpriced (in my opinion).
