a romantic escape

comedic timing interactive part

The pirate show brought immense joy. the performers were full of energy, and their comedic timing captivated everyone. the set design created an immersive experience. It was nice. this show kept us smiling, and i especially enjoyed the interactive parts.

our room had some cleanliness issues (i found dust, ants, and insects). the air conditioning also emitted a fishy smell at the highest setting, quite unpleasant. i wish the room had been better maintained for a more comfortable stay.

oily item unbalanced diet

the hotel had easy access to the beach and pools, i suppose it was acceptable.

The overall food quality seemed below average. items looked overly fried and oily. Even the pita bread felt heavy. i saw pink chicken served on multiple occasions, far from appetizing. it seemed hard to find fresh vegetables too. Bananas and oranges don't really make a balanced diet, do they?
