This is a photo of a resort located on an island.
a) What is the name of the resort? b) What are the coordinates of the island? c) In which cardinal direction was the camera facing when the photo was taken?
In my opinion, solving this challenge with google lens is wasting a fun opportunity, so decided to solve it with math and programming.
