It's improved since then, it's decent to get in a quick session. Free weights, stack, benches, etc.

The picture that I saw is accurate. If you are a little creative, you can get in a pretty good workout. There are free weights, dumb bells, a small universal, and a pretty good leg press machine. What is not shown in the pictures I saw, was the cardio room. Small, but it had tread mills, an elliptical and a step machine if I remember. It is a good math exercise for people from the U.S., if I remember, most the weights are in kg.

Pearl has one of the best treadmills in the world. It's right past the pool; when you feel sand under your feet, make a 90* turn to the right, and start running.

D and I were surprised that the gym facilities were as good as any other hotel / resort we visited. A few cardio machines and some good free weights, squat rack, squat press, chin up bar etc.

Although 4 days into our holiday we did joke that clearly the other side of the world has some kind of strange gravitational pull as my chin ups left a lot to be desired... HAHAHA

Have fun on your trip! Don't forget they also have yoga in the morning too.
