After sleeping on a chair lastnight and getting absolutely eaten alive by Mosquitos I am very excited to be going to a 5 star hotel tonight! My friend and I decided to check in early and make the most of the royal treatment! We arrived at 11am to some wonderful welcome drinks and made our way straight to the pool. Right next to the rooftop pool was a small fitness centre - I couldn't resist I had to go do a quick workout as this was a rare opportunity to use a ...
