BTW, I just read the Google reviews for this hotel and I find it odd that almost no one there mentions these obvious limitations with this property. I guess most of their guests really do just want to lie around and be pampered!
Agreed - re the reviews. I dare say a number of those initial reviews might be driven by travel agents or people who were there on an invite from the hotel.
And don’t get me wrong - nothing wrong with being pampered and relaxing. However the lack of choice on foods / restaurants and on property activities hurts this “chillax” approach as well. Hopefully they tweak stuff around to make it better.
