heavenly moments

warm pool comfortable room delicious food kind gesture
the pools were warm, and a few selections were available. rooms were super comfortable and glam! the food variety seemed huge and delicious. mayan checked us in and upgraded our room and package. he spoilt my wife with a birthday cake, a very thoughtful gesture. he elevated our stay to another level. he ensured we were short of nothing.
I noticed the two swimming pools. we wanted to go into the small silent pool nearby. all the deckchairs were reserved with towels! only two people were in the pool, though.
