The heart of the resort was the central courtyard, a sprawling expanse of carefully manicured gardens, fountains, and meandering pathways. Vibrant carnations of every hue imaginable danced in the gentle breeze, their petals shimmering like jewels under the sun's warm embrace. Guests strolled along the pathways, finding hidden nooks for reflection, or sat by the fountains to listen to the soothing symphony of trickling water.
