Here's the lobby, where they sit their VIPs (like us) to have a glass of champagne while the staff checks us in! |

The lobby was all done up for Christmas - it was markedly different for New Year's, but we didn't get a picture of that |

Parrots in the lobby - pretty, but they jumped on this guy's shoulder one day and seemed about to peck his eyes out! |

Da beach - we heard those float trikes were tipsy, so we stayed away from them! | ||

Anchored boats and a sailboat going by, from the courtyard of the main building | ||

Gotta watch out for those beach vendors, selling everything from cruises around the island, to music, to aloe for sunburns! | ||

Very beautiful grounds - here's an arch made of the local flora, looks pretty new, but it'll be nicely filled in soon, we're sure | ||

Our pool, steps from our front door - and yes, that's Kristi sunbathing on the float! | ||

It rained monsoon-like on our last full day there - thank goodness we were hanging at our pool, we just had to duck in our little patio and watch it rain! | ||

And the best rooms at the place, with balconies directly overlooking the beach, only steps away to the right |
