fine location shaded cabanas weak a.c. booked activities archery activity
The resort had a fine location. It was really beautiful. and i appreciated that. the pool area has many shaded cabanas, and i enjoyed getting a refreshing drink at the swim-up pool bar.
I noticed the a. c. in my room wasn't very strong. It was a bit too warm at night. the staff didn't tell me to book activities at check-in. i wanted to participate in archery, but it was fully booked the next day.
