Guess the hotel
ok thx to communicate mag for this quote. pure genius.
"From shaven headed british lobsters baking themselves on the crowded tiny beach- only a stage less appetizing in appearance than the nightly buffet- to eastern europeans of questionable proffesion tottering around in bikinis and six inch heels, hanging off the arms of their "grandfathers", this is a crucible of cringe."
answer tobe revealed on the polls close
