OVERALL RATING:
Satisfactory!!!! And recommendable.

SIDE Story:
Hubby and I really had a good time. We spent a lot of time together. We played badminton, table tennis and billiards. We also sued the pool both in the morning and afternoon. We stayed in the gazebo, took some pictures, watched TV and write dedication on the Mother's Day cards that we created the other night. We even played with bikes and scooters. We played like kids and really enjoyed our time together.

Btw, Hubby and I also learned a lot about coffee because of the TRIVIA cards attached to their coffee trees.
