Really good Resort Experience

the villa provided a natural setting with access to a gym, multiple pools, and tennis facilities for recreation. the room was spacious and featured a large balcony that overlooked beautiful trees and gardens. i enjoyed an authentic curry with rich flavors at the sri lankan restaurant.
I noticed some bird droppings around the pool area which i thought could have been cleaned more regularly. This was a very minor issue.
