amazing adult-only getaway!

i had such a blast ! my upper pool access room was super clean and spacious. the bubbles bar prices were reasonable, and i loved that fresh pool towels got delivered daily! it's a short walk to restaurants and bars, they generally close early during low season, but it suited me perfectly.

I noticed the room looked somewhat worn. The furniture was a bit chipped. a major upgrade could really boost the overall impression of the room.
