at the photos below of the beautiful Spanish-architecture inspired towers, the nice mosaic patio floor, the Neptune pool in repair (unfortunately), the various statutes (replicas of classic ones), wall mosaics, and, of course, the in-door pool. \u00a0This pool is absolutely gorgeous. \u00a0Lots of little hidden decorations as well. \u00a0I inserted here the mermaid playing the
