What type of travel writing is this extract written as:

Magnificent hotel in Brunei left us speechless. The buildings and the whole area were impressive. The room we stayed in was royal - big, clean, and very well maintained with all the amenities and a fantastic view of the pond. We enjoyed ourselves in one smaller pool near our building, but this “small” pool was bigger than a lot of “normal” hotel pools. The hotel also has a very nice viewpoint where we enjoyed a sun seat. Breakfast was fantastic with a wide variety of delicious food. The staff in the hotel were very friendly and keen to help at every step.
