Not sure about that one, I mean it looked nice but again just empty. I really would love to know how busy it gets from September onwards though. I am guessing it is still going to be pretty dead. Maybe it is also to do with alcohol because its banned, that might also be a factor. But do they stop you from bringing your own with you? would they confiscate it? Also you made a slight error when you said 1 night. You stayed for 2 nights lol - Also that shower was to small :D still waiting for you to find one that you can fit 600 people in haha

Anyway those places are way too hot to appreciate anything. And there is nothing to see. Go in some tropical places around the world or anywhere with desert weather if it's what you are looking for, but with landscape, Jordania, Arizona for exemple. As he said, if you want something like this, go to the Seychelles, or Maldives or Tahiti

@@hatchling88 You're being silly. That temperature would be the hottest day of the year for some places in England. It would be a very rare temperature in some places. It's all relative. The same person might be fine after four weeks (acclimatised) or not - health issues. Everyone is different. Just like you might struggle in Arizona at 115F whereas someone who lives there would be fine. For example, 68F is a hot day in parts of England, things are very different to Florida. It shouldn't be difficult to understand that our climates are massively different and that affects how people feel.

A friend of mine who got married stayed at one of these at Maldives in South Asia. That one seemed really nice. You had the chance to swim with dolphins and the water near the beaches glowed at night when you walked through the shallow end of the beach - natural flora that glows during water movement. The whole area won a 2023 World Travel Award for best resort. Yes the paint does wear off from the ocean and sun which can be repaired during off season. Still a nice place where you were at.

Hey Tim, the reason some of those buttons don't work or do anything is probably because in other locations like other villas not over the water that are on the actual Island might have those features and they just utilize the same control panel throughout the resort since its probably cheaper in the long run instead of having to have multiple different custom control panels. Thats just my thought on that.

@robertsenedrin6692 24 күн бұрын

Hi Tim! The tagging on the bed is for the 'Mattress Rotation'. Hotels, Housekeeping department in particular rotates the bed quarterly thats why there are months indicated on them. Its to retain the quality of the spring and I could say its overall quality. Its also one thing Housekeeping do to check on the bed bugs. I hope this helps!
