This is the lobby of the resort, which was the first thing we saw. What is interesting is that with the exception of the buffet room (which reminded me the restaurant on the Titanic) and the hotel rooms, everything is outside.


Our hotel room was beautiful. I particularly loved the sink and want a sink just like that one day. Daily the maids would come in and leave us towel origami:


This is the view from our balcony looking to the side:


And straight ahead:


Here's a shot of the Italian restaurant right beside the pool and some sweet serenading:


This was taken on the 2nd or 3rd day, there were locals roaming around collecting coconuts for us to drink from. S had one, I'm not a big coconut fan....though the all-inclusive Pina Coladas were awesome.


Some images from around the resort:


These are the massage huts!


Heading to the beach:


Another random image:


This is the beginning of the very long pier:

Another angle of the massage hut:


Here is the pier from the beach....you can barely see the end


Walking on the pier:


A shot of the 6 huts we spend a fair amount of time lounging in. When we went snorkelling under the last hut at the end of the pier we found a school of hundreds of fish just sitting there. They were there the second time we went snorkelling. It was kinda creepy.


Paradise:


A view of the beach from the pier:


There were two of these huts with hammocks on either side of the pier. In the afternoon when the tide came in the waves would rock you back and forth.


Like this:


Here is S as we are going down to dinner:


As the sun is going down:


And me during one of the few times I actually washed and straightened my hair. You can even see tan lines! I only saw two women sunbathing without tops, and that was on the last day, and as there were children around....I kept mine on.


This is one of my favourite images taken from the pier:


Some shots taken at night - these don't do justice to the beauty






A shot of the awesomely brilliant swim-up bar....during the day there was a cascade that came down in front of it. The water was chlorinated so it became a nice break from the saltwater as we spent most mornings on the beach.
