Underwhelming Stay with Spa Incident

drinks inclusion spa incident

The staff working at the restaurant were really nice.

My all-inclusive package ended up not including all drinks. During a spa treatment, the therapist started to massage my chest and actually touched my nipple. I stopped him. That experience ruined everything else.
