“Every day can pretty much be summed up in this picture: Lounging in the pool, sipping a Dirty Banana (basically a mixture of rum, Kahlua and a banana) and working on my tan.”

“The resort had some fantastic restaurants. Our favourite was the Japanese hibachi restaurant. Along with the Japanese restaurant there was also a French, Italian, Mexican, Jamaican and Seafood restaurant.”
