odd layout cargo ship view

the hotel layout seemed strange to me, not well planned really. it felt a bit sad and empty if you ask me. ducks were always swimming in the pools, a bit weird. the beach wasn't great for swimming and the view? big cargo ships. not what i wanted to see. they asked for a huge deposit then took ages to return it. annoying!
