6/10 Good

We arrived from a tropical town which was very hot and humid. We know Bowen is also very and humid, but we also knew swimming in the ocean was no no, because of the stingers at this time of the year. We were very eager to jump into the motel's gated pool but as we climbed in the water was very hot and uncomfortable due to the sun shining on it all day long..why not invest in large sun sails to cover the pool and also the persons in there,and reduce the sun heating up the water. Otherwise it was flour stay was faultless. Thank you.
