It's gonna be bean bag for sitting and no table. You will have your bungalow porch. If chair and table needed- we may find some. You also can sit in restaurant area For WiFi. It's a good sim card connection in the area. But WiFi doesn't reach the bungalow, and cover restaurant area only. If you ok with working surrounding by people you can use it, otherwise you need to have your own SIM card.
