The pool and the Spa Village, 10/1/14

Our 2nd full day starts off with another great breakfast! They have a coconut marmalade to spread on breads that’s really great! After breakfast, we go back to the villa, change, and head over to the pool for a morning and afternoon of sheer laziness. It’s a gorgeous day with little or no wind. It’s cloudy so we don’t have too much trouble with sunburn, and we’re working to stay in the shade.

Several times today, helicopters brought in, or took out guests.

We have a really late lunch (or early supper) around 4:30 at the pool restaurant. Afterwards we go back to the villa and change back out of our swimwear. Then we walk to the shuttle for a ride to the Spa Village. It’s a separate area with a huge spa complex. There are two restaurants, and villas similar to ours along with another pool. The spa is one of the “centerpiece” attractions of the resort. Luciano Pavrotti was a regular visitor at the resort, and helped them open the spa when it was finished.

Several of the restaurants in the resort have a dress code, and we didn’t come prepared. We packed for “fun in the sun”, not dinner reservations. I don’t think I’m missing the food, as much as the views. These restaurants have gorgeous settings overlooking the water.
