inconsistent experience at resort

decent selectionsliver viewwarm mini-bar
the breakfast buffet had a decent selection, i suppose.
the promised lagoon view from my "beautiful lagoon view room" was more of a sliver between some trees. i could hear a constant hum, maybe from some machinery nearby. the mini-bar was also warm, so my drinks wasn't cold.
