July 23, 2143 Travel Review of Red Ares
Resort and Spa, user rated as 4.5 stars
All I can say is that the last 14 days at the Red Ares Resort at Melas Chasma were nothing less than fantastic. It is perhaps the best vacation me and my husband have ever had. Upon arrival to the property, we were greeted with such an indescribable view of the canyon. We were shown to our canyon-side room. A beautiful bouquet of Geneticon snapping tulips™ was left in the room. Throughout our stay, the staff were impeccable and could almost read our minds. On our first day or “sol” as the locals call them, we just settled in and adjusted to the gravity.
On our third sol at the resort, we made our first excursion to the canyon. The resort has an aerostat to take tourists on aerial tours of the canyon. To say this was the highlight of the trip is an understatement. The scale of the areography boggles the mind. My husband looked like he had a tear in his eye. Of course he denied it, by I knew better.
On the sixth sol, we went to the ultra chic restaurant ‘Visage de Mars.’ The waiters explained that all the food was grown hydroponically and aquaponically in closed-system greenhouses. Even the vat grown meat was indistinguishable from the real thing. My husband could hardly keep his paws off of his filet mignon. He literally licked the whole plate. My rack of lamb was likewise delightful. Afterwards we went for a walk in the dome. The moons overhead moved fast but one was almost always a full moon. It was so romantic.
On the eighth through tenth sols, there was a large dust storm. We made the best of it and took advantage of the spa and other accommodations. I got a relaxing massage and pedicure. My nails really did need it. I also got a haircut and bath. My hair was so much shinier for it. My husband even complimented me. He looked like he was ready to pounce. Down boy!
I did look forward to when the sun shone again and I was able to see the moons flying past. Finally on the eleventh day, the storm subsided. Once the all clear was given, we went for a run in the dome. It was nice to finally stretch our legs.
We made several other excursions but the most memorable was to the Olympus Mons Protected Reserve Park. The mountain was so high. Our expedition was to make an attempt to reach the rim of the calderas at the summit but I got sick as a dog so we decided to wait at the base camp while the others went ahead.
The last few sols of our trip just glided by so fast I can hardly remember them. The people we met were so friendly and kind, we would definitely go again. It was a real treat. I would recommend to anyone on the lookout for a relaxing but certainly unique out-of-this-world experience.
I rated the resort as 4.5 stars. I would have given 5 but for a small detail. Just too many humans for our liking. In my opinion, they are the real monsters but even werewolves need vacations too, right?
