[00:00.00]Exercise 5
[00:04.85]...and welcome back to Travel Matters.
[00:07.63]This week, Dan Hart brings us another of his
[00:11.48]in Brief vacation reports.
[00:13.79]This time it's from Acapulco in Mexico.
[00:17.39]So, Dan ,what can you tell us?
[00:20.79]We tried two hotels in Acapulco,
[00:23.72]the Sands Hotel and the Sea Breeze¹ Hotel.
[00:27.25]Both of them were very good,
[00:29.13]but each one is quite different from the other.
[00:32.26]In what ways?
[00:34.07]Well, the Sands is larger
[00:36.36]and the building is newer and more modern
[00:38.66]in every way than the Sea Breeze.
[00:41.05]The Sea breeze is more...er...
[00:43.87]Traditional?
[00:45.03]Yes, it's more traditional and it's smaller.
[00:49.06]Are the hotels near the beach?
[00:51.72]The Sands is closer to the beach
[00:54.00]than the Sea Breeze.
[00:55.36]In fact, the Sands is on the beach itself.
[00:58.64]So it's more convenient² for people
[01:01.44]who want to just swim.
[01:04.03]And what other differences did you find?
[01:07.43]Well, the Sea Breeze offers
[01:09.99]a special children's play area
[01:12.48]and a babysitting³ service.
[01:14.83]So, it's better for families than the Sands,
[01:18.70]right?
[01:18.99]That's right.
[01:20.90]On the other hand,
[01:22.25]the Sea Breeze Hotel is better for things
[01:24.76]like business conferences⁴.
