decent stay

hotel interior food variety regular shuttle missing tiles drink quality unclear check-in
the hotel had a unique interior. i noticed turtles and fish inside the main area. the food offered a good variety , and i enjoyed it overall. shuttle service to the waterpark ran frequently.
some aspects did not meet expectations. i observed several pool tiles missing. drink quality was inconsistent , especially the spirits. check-in lacked clarity , and i experienced delays getting cot beds.

limited selection extra charges
I found the food to be quite disappointing. the selection seemed limited and the quality was not what i expected. i also noted that some facilities, like the safe in the room, incurred extra charges. This felt a bit excessive considering the overall cost of the stay. it would be better if these were included.
