Consider yourself lucky because that place was not worth the time you spend on a plane to get there. Checkout Iceland, it's amazing. If you want a beach, So-Cal or the Keyes will suffice.

They lobby, elevators and hallways are plastic lined and ready for a murder scene.
They knock on your door three times a day with food and a final knock for when they escort you back to the airport.
The Aussies have lost their ever lovin minds. But they justify it by their case counts.

Food was terrible, saving Grace was they would let us order on Uber Eats and order beer in the hotel.
Mantra Tullamarine YMMB is where we were held up.

Insanity.
How it works: Under alert level 4 restrictions, schools move to remote classes and non-essential businesses close — including food delivery services. Only essential travel is permitted, and water activities like swimming are banned.

- People must remain at home unless they're exercising outdoors, sticking to their neighborhoods and within their household "bubbles."
