mixed feelings about this visit

overcrowded spa smoking guests
the location is quite nice (right on the beach).
the spa was much smaller than expected. it felt overcrowded, and there weren't enough loungers for everyone. i also noticed guests smoking outside in their robes and then returning inside, bringing the smell of smoke with them. it detracted from the relaxation i sought.
