Our 2nd<\/sup> full day starts off with another great breakfast! They have a coconut marmalade to spread on breads that\u2019s 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\u2019s a gorgeous day with little or no wind. It\u2019s cloudy so we don\u2019t have too much trouble with sunburn, and we\u2019re working to stay in the shade.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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 \u201ccenterpiece\u201d attractions of the resort. Luciano Pavrotti was a regular visitor at the resort, and helped them open the spa when it was finished.<\/p>\n

Several of the restaurants in the resort have a dress code, and we didn\u2019t come prepared. We packed for \u201cfun in the sun\u201d, not dinner reservations. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m missing the food, as much as the views. These restaurants have gorgeous settings overlooking the water.<\/p>\n
