Ripples sweep and wash over the face and surface of the clear waters of the pool, creating wavelets that lazily consume in the glows from the lights at the sidewalls. A not so swift but soft breeze also sweeps about, carrying with it an aroma from the kitchen as it eddies around, stimulating, to great heights, the guests’ appetites. Guests, as they heartily sip and swig, with a munch in-between, are on business or leisure, each group in their own way, seem to be enjoying every bit.
