This doesn’t really qualify as a “hotel gym”, due to the embarrassing “selection” of equipment.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Surely not! The “hotel gym” is obviously close to non-existing – extremely poorly and disappointedly equipped.

All equipment is definitely well maintained and there’s a break every two hours to clean everything for half an hour.
I was surprised to see a leg press!
The property also had some beautiful landscaping so getting out for walks and runs is nice too!
It would’ve been nice if there was a space to do body-weighted exercises or have your own little section. It would’ve been great if there’d been a squat rack or a Smith machine.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes, I would stay there again because of the gym – but I would probably check out the main gym at the main resort even though it takes a few more minutes to get to.
