spacious layout fitness center bag assistance cloudy water

My room had a spacious layout and a great location. I greatly appreciated having access to a fitness center that was well-equipped. It had several machines for a full workout. The hotel's grounds also featured numerous shops, pools and restaurants!!!

Upon arrival, no one explained to me where my building was located. I had to ask someone to show me. This person gave no help with my bags. I also noticed wires around the private pool and the water looked a little cloudy.
