Activities/Excursions-

     Had a lot of fun snorkeling, we went 3 times during our stay (if you have your own mask & snorkel there is a better chance to get on the list if it’s already full).  Trillan was always fun and attentive. He made me feel very comfortable every time we snorkeled.  On our 2nd snorkel trip, I thought I could snorkel without the life vest but I was mistaken and Trillan was on the ball and had the vest ready to throw out to us.  Impressive!

Went on the glass bottom boat tour and saw starfish, turtles, parrot fish, stingrays, coral, a sunken catamaran, etc.  Again, Trillan was a super guide and really knew his stuff.

Took one of the Water Bee’s from the Water Sports hut out on the water and it was fun, a two-seater, pedal boat. 

Went on the catamaran cruise, very lively, we opted not to dive off the cliff but we did snorkel while we were there.  Hubby enjoyed the slide too.  Total cat cruise time was about 2 hours.  Nice view of the coastline and a relaxing ride.

Talk Jamaican class-

     We had a blast with Andre “Chubby” learning new phrases and more about the Patios dialect

Cook Jamaica class-

Lady Barbie and Big D taught us about Jamaican cooking with a chef who did an awesome job.  Tasted Ackee & Saltfish, tried a Ginger Rootbeer and Ting.

Neither class was too long and we enjoyed them both.

New Year's Eve-

     The staff left a small bottle of champagne, two glasses and a nice card in our room to wish us a happy holiday season.  Cocktail party had to be moved indoors because of rain and kudos to the staff for making that transition in record time. It was moved to a conference room in the Great House, next to the Aura lounge.  There were plenty of hours dourves and alcoholic beverages.  It was however not a party conducive to non-drinkers as there was nothing available for us, not even water.  We totally understood that it was a cocktail party but I was just a tad disappointed that water was not even available.  No problem though, we just got something to drink when we went to the Palms for dinner.

We were given a top hat, tiara and noisemakers upon arrival at The Palms.  Plenty of great food and drinks available too.  The theme for NYE was Casino Royale 007. Excellent set up, beautiful decorations and a rockin’ dance floor with tons of balloons and confetti dropping at midnight.  There were a variety of musical talents too.  We rang in the New Year at Couples Swept Away, what could be better than that?  Danced the night away at the Palms and then we went over to the disco and Aura lounge.  Stayed out until 2:30 AM dancing and had a blast.
