Here is what we woke up to:
It had rained the night before and everything was sooo green. We later learned that the island had been in a drought for several months. The employees were so excited and dancing and singing out in the rain. There were all kinds of tropical birds that sang to us every day.
Breakfast in bed was delivered to our room. It was soooo delicious. They have the best fruits! After breakfast, we went out to explore the resort. This was our room from the outside. We had the upstairs left two windows. The people under us had their own private pool!
Our room was at the top of a very big hill. There were about four sets of these stairs we had to climb to get to our room. Most time we just took the shuttle!!!
Since it was dark when we arrived the night before, we wanted to see what the resort looked like in the sun...except that it started raining again. Just a light rain and only for a little while. They the sun came out and it was beautiful.
This was the main pool overlooking the ocean.
The Pavillion was the place where we had buffet style breakfast and lunch. At night they set the tables for dinner and served delicious food!
The beach was beautiful. We enjoyed the sun while it was out and found a place to stay dry on the beach even while it was raining.
After playing and napping on the beach, we went to our room to get ready for dinner. We ate at the Pavillion. The salads that I ate the whole week were the most delicious salads I have ever eaten. Since I don't like seafood or steak, I ate a lot of chicken. But it didn't get old, because at each restaurant it was different. And it was sooo full of flavor. Very much better than any chicken I have ever eaten in the States. After dinner entertainment was a steel drum band. They were awesome. I got some picture, but they were on my disposable camera so I'll have to add them later. What an awesome first day in paradise!!
