Relaxing Stay by the Water

I liked the provided kayaks. They were free to use. The small beach was private and nice. I observed hammocks and picnic tables scattered throughout the grounds. The staff seemed friendly and cute during my brief interactions.
The room smelled a bit strong upon arrival, though it improved after airing it out. I wish a broom was available for sandy floors.
