31、just what you mean. W: And all the rooms have balconies facing the sea and overlooking the beach. M: Expensive? W: No. That was the remarkable thing about it. You know, even allowing for a bit of exaggeration in the ad, it seemed to have a lot to offer. M: The only way to find out for certain is to
