rusty weightrogue seaweed
honestly, the outdoor gym was hardly what i'd call well-equipped. i saw like one rusty weight and a slightly bent treadmill. and don't even get me started on the beach. finding towels reminded me of some kind of bizarre scavenger hunt since nobody seemed to know where they were or cared to help. it really reminded me of they put all there focus on the pool area, with is clean, and totally forgot the beach area needs some attention too. i think i saw a rogue seaweed collection, but who's counting?

Really good Stay with High-End Design

high-end designpeaceful gardenfriendly staff
I found the public areas had a high-end design. It immediately immersed me in beautiful interiors. Lovely gardens contained flowers and winding paths. They created a peaceful atmosphere. the environment felt quiet even when the hotel was relatively full. I appreciated friendly staff across all roles. They were always trying to make guests happy.
I noticed people reserved sun beds before breakfast, leaving towels for hours. This was a slight shame.
