It still looks a little correction facility-ish, but a nice one at that. I wouldn't turn down a chance to stay there, just as long as I didn't have to pay for it.
In truth, it resembles a correctional facility only in its lack of proximity to any form of civilisation that cannot be provided within its own parameters. If you get queasy, as I do, when deprived of theatres and convenience stores and suchlike, and you don't drive, as I don't, well they might just as well have just locked you in.
When you put it that way it does sound like Hell. I don't understand the idea of a resort vacation, spend a large sum of money to be pent up somewhere. Golf, spas and nice rooms can only offer so much, ya know?
