9. I really felt sorry for those poor saps who had to stay in one of these non air conditioned units that did not have ocean view as the air must get stifling.

10. Therefore, I am putting this review on both listings to any poor individual like myself who is mistakenly led to buying one well-reviewed resort but staying at the other.
