After a short delay we booked into our room. We had booked the Classic Sea View room aka.. a normal room with a sea view. There are several categories higher than this - luxury rooms, suites, family rooms, garden villas and the presidential suite.
Many people would perhaps find the room small, but we loved it.
Daily fruit... apples are great for a walk along the beach.
Toiletries provided
View from the balcony
More views from the balcony
A great place for a sunset drink
After unpacking we headed up to another bar to have some cocktails...
Time for a mojito
And a chicken sandwich

It was at this time that the local wildlife became interested in our peanuts...
I've always found vervet monkeys are up for a fight... and I was right. If you try shoo them away they tend to growl and do all sorts of terrifying things with their hands... sort of like some sort of macabre scene out of Ace Ventura. That said, I've found that they're not particularly fond of pillows, perhaps because they don't look like hands... so a few aggressive movements with the bar pillow and the monkey ran way and didn't come back. Of course, he did sit in the nearby tree sulking for the rest of the time.
This fellow was a lot more friendly and we ended up feeding him a great deal of things, which he accepted graciously.
We then went for a short walk along the beach before retiring for the night...
Kite-surfers doing their thing... it really is a remarkable sport
