After we checked into the hotel, we walked around the resort to explore a little. This is the view from the main building, near the ocean. It was nice and sunny our first day there.

They had a welcoming party at 6:00 our first day there. They had a table of Jamaican foods and fruits to try. They also had a Jamaican fruit punch, and another drink made with Guiness. The pictures below are from the welcoming party.

They had a guy (see the photo below) who was chopping the tops off of coconuts with a huge knife. Then he'd give you a straw to drink the coconut water inside. We noticed that they had coconut water for sale several places where we went.


[Chopping the coconuts]

You can't really tell from this photo,
but the knife this guy was using to cut the coconuts
was huge.


[Band]

We saw this band all over the place during the week.
They played Carribean music.


[Fruit]

This is an example of the fruit decorations
that they had on the tables.
They had similar decorations on the buffet tables
at lunch and dinner.


[Limbo]

Later that night, they had a beach party. There was a dinner buffet set up on the beach, and a group of musicians was playing calypso music on steel drums. At one point, they started doing the limbo using a drumstick as a limbo bar. We watched one guy put a beer on his head and limbo under the drumstick, without spilling a drop! He must've had a lot of practice to be able to pull that off.
