The resort operator chose our product for its 40ft standard configuration—8 aluminum alloy windows, a KFC-style door, and a complete layout of three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom—and its rich additional and upgrade options, which quickly create functional and aesthetically pleasing accommodation units.
