We had an absolutely amazing trip! This home is super relaxing, and Melinda and I agree best vacation ever! :) The owners put incredible attention to detail and are very artistic in their design and color schemes throughout the house. It is located on the highest point on the island, giving you an amazing 360 degree view, perfect for watching sunrises and sunsets. Since located on this outer island so far from cities, at night time the sky is bright with stars, and we could see fireflies in the trees and lightning in the distance, our own natural private fireworks show.
We arrived on Saturday. Spent all day Sunday at the three snorkeling sites recommended. The first spot Naval base was a bit spooky and exciting. "The Pines" site had the largest coral reef I've ever seen so close to shore. I loved the deep shelves with big fish and Melinda liked the more shallow areas with smaller colorful fish. The sky resort was the perfect last stop with barbecue, pool bar, and hot tub! Yesterday we ate breakfast (delicious Coconut French toast) at the Cove and used their beach. The Cove will let you in as long as you have reservations for the restaurant, thus you have to call ahead and make a reservation, and that is what gets you "on the guest list." As long as you're eating there, that makes you a paying customer, and with their high prices, you're definitely paying for the nice amenities. The hammocks are nice for taking naps. After breakfast, we slipped into our swimwear. Plenty of open comfortable chairs on the beach, while sitting there they pamper you and bring towels, ice water, and popsicles for free. All of the toys are laying on the beach, just walk up and grab a kayak or paddle board for free. After the beach, hop in the infinity pool to rinse salt water off and kick back with a drink and enjoy the view. Melinda says they make the best pinacoladas. Each night went back to the house, relaxed on the upper floor balcony and watched the sunset into the ocean. They have a nice stereo system that I was able to play music over Bluetooth from my phone, and a high tech Samsung TV that I was able to play Google movies from my phone using WiFi Smart Connect while kicking back with a couple cold beers from the refrigerator. All the amenities from home, on a beautiful tropical island with crystal clear water and colorful reefs, doesn't get better than this!
