Comfortable pool chairs next to the swimming pool at resort in Alleppey

This can be truly called a great vacation. In the middle of December, you have a place that is nice, and warm, and where there is this attractive swimming pool, set in the middle of greenery. Just to invite people in, there are these balls in the water, seemingly inviting vacationers to come and play in the pool.
