Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

Our final day in Amanpulo has arrived.











We had the opportunity to see where the king and queen stay, complete with a butler during their visit. This is also where celebrities stay, tucked away from the main rooms.
