underwhelming stay

well-kept groundsslow servicehigh food prices
the resort grounds were quite nice and well-kept, it is true.
The service was slow. I waited an eternity for drinks at the pool bar. getting a simple request fulfilled was like a monumental task. the food prices were also surprisingly high, a pad thai cost more than a steak, and it wasn't even good. I found better and cheaper food elsewhere.
