We've been there for 3 days - sleeping, reading, kayaking, snorkelling, eating, swimming. I've made a picture journal to give you some idea, but it was quintessential Caribbean, and one of our best little holidays ever.
The snorkelling was incredible - all of us swam together amongst Finding Nemo - gazillions of silvery bait fish, all being hunted by huge tarpons and barracuda (about the size of William). We saw stingrays, puffer fish and trumpet fish. Tyler swam on the back of a sea turtle. It was dazzling and all in a few metres of water, just off the beach, although we also did some adventurous stuff with the kids on the kayaks, as well.
The resort is small and most guests come in on their boats (we got picked up by the resort). In the evening it is buzzy with about 30 yachts moored in the bay,everyone coming in on their dinghys for drinks and dinner - although we have decided, after watching all of this from our beach loungers, that yachts are a bit like upper-class caravans - people putter around and then sit on them drinking lots of beer and playing poker. It really could be Mossel Bay, but just with a few million $$'s and admittedly a teensy bit more glamour. Not to say we don't want a yacht. We desperately do!
