“I’m comparing this place to others I’ve stayed at around the world, and for the size of the complex, I would expect a larger gym. The parking area could also be improved; it might benefit from new paint as it currently feels a bit grimy. Additionally, due to the location of the apartment, you can hear the pool pump house running constantly, which is quite noticeable.”
