Paste a few favourite quotes if you have them. These may become copy on the site.

28. Do you have drone or aerial footage of the property and lagoon?
29. Do you have video content? Share any links.
30. Are there any existing photos you do not want used?
For example: outdated rooms, old decor, anything that no longer reflects the resort today.

More direct bookings, fewer online travel agency commissions, more wedding enquiries, something else?
33. What is the single biggest frustration with how you get bookings today?
34. Is there anything about staying at Palm Grove that is almost impossible to put into words, but guests always mention when they leave?
That feeling is what great web design tries to capture. Do not hold back here.
