This is my room, lets go in. In the room, the bathroom is right next to the door.Further into the room, there is the bed. You can choose from twin beds or king sized bed. Futhermore, there’s a balcony. The balconies all overlook the ocean. Now, I shall go down for breakfast. It’s right next to the entrance, on your left. Here, at Hilton hotel, the breakfast will always be buffet style. You can choose from cereal to toast, and even pancakes! After half an hour,you can go to the massive pool that the hotel has! You can swim or relax and sunbathe next to the pool on the chairs.
This hotel is good, but it only serves breakfast. It won’t serve lunch and dinner. Luckily, there are restaurants nearby to eat at. There are Thai restaurants, Chinese and many more!

The best hotel
The hotel was Humungous as I first had stepped into the architectural marvel of the 21st century. The trees along the side of the road were whispering giving of a cool wind. My eyes kept on being dragged to the grandeur fountain in the middle of the road, which was spraying onto a prestige statue of the famous soccer player, Messi, the statue was carved with craftmanship, showing each small detail from even the other side of the world. I then had parked my car and stepped into the lobby. There were chandeliers hanging down which electrified the place, along with the elegant clear water splashing around the place in seethrough pipes, the water was so bright that it was acting as a light. As I went to get my key for my room each staff member I passed greeted me with a smile. I had one gigantic bed, one window, one huge desk which goes up and down along with a chair. And also there was a bookshelf which had books to read, and compact disc’s to listen to in a compact disk player which was also given. The bathrooms were also enormouse and spaced out.
The next morning I ordered my breakfast by pressing a button and ordering. The service was quick and they were also kind to me and gave me a bit extra. The food was still hot so it tasted delightful. They waited outside the whole time and when I finished and went to wash my hands they came in and took it without me even noticing. Also everything was made from scratch so that meant it wasn’t frozen.
After sometime I had gone down to the lobby and had discovered that there was also another door so I went out to discover. There was a swimming pool, a lush, green, grassy area to play soccer, a tennis court, a basketball court, a go kart racing place, an arcade, a beach, a jumping pillow and next to the jumping pillow there was a craft activity place but I thought the jumping pillow was the best. It was the best type of jumping pillow you would ever find because there was air coming out of it so it meant that if I jumped I would levitate a bit and then I would fall back down but if I lay on my stomach I would levitate.
This was the best and most grandeur place I have ever been to because the staff was kind, the room had everything I needed, the service was quick, the food was hot and it was not frozen, this place had a lot of activities to keep me busy and the interior and exterior was beautiful.
