Mediocre experience, some issues need addressing

the gym had adequate equipment.
I found the service near the pool to be subpar. Waiters were often standing around without attending to guests. the shower setup was also quite inconvenient. it was positioned inside a high bathtub. may find this challenging. finally, the quantity of soap provided was insufficient.
