I heard and saw the one of your stuff arguing with other, only one person was preparing the cocktails, the other one came 10min later and was very passed about this fact which every guest clearly felt, like she wasn't happy to be there

Meisje wat ons de uitleg moest geven sprak alleen Engels.Vreemd als je in Nederland bent?Vroeg een collega maar niemand had tijd. Weinig zitplaatsen in de coctailbar als je met meer dan 2 personen bent. We zouden een presentje krijgen, niet ontvangen.

Erg leukHet Moonlit Sanctuary Conservation Park - het belangrijkste hoogtepunt - was goed. Ik ging in een weekend (dat is mijn besluit), dus ik had verwacht dat de paden vol zouden zijn, maar ze hielden zich aan hun woord over beperkte capaciteit voor gasten. Ook zijn de paden geschikt voor lichamelijk gehandicapten (ik zag een personeelslid iemand in een rolstoel helpen). De wandelpaden zijn gemakkelijk en ik zag veel van de inheemse dieren in het moeras. Minpunt: Terwijl het Moonlit Sanctuary Conservation Park een degelijke ervaring was en ik alle dieren zag die ik in gedachten had, geef ik meer de voorkeur aan een meer hands on boerderij-ervaring, maar dat ben ik maar. Ondanks mijn persoonlijke twijfels, zou ik zeggen dat de pluspunten de minpunten overtroffen. Het was een goed bestede dag!
