We think this first shot is the FL Keys, and 2nd is flying over Cuba. 3. Over Montego Bay...we're almost ready to land 4. Our room (Ocean Edge Honeymoon Penthouse Beachfront Concierge) was located on the top level of the Riviera 5. That's me, immediately upon arrival. Too tired to even change clothes, we enjoyed the beautiful views from our balcony, the complementary snacks, and the chilled bottle of Pinot Grigio from the refrigerator. We even had a gorgeous rainbow to greet us! The photos below are all from the balcony of our room.
Sandals sent us many e-mail reminders of our anniversary. Since they were the only people (yes, (really) who remembered the date, I got a big smile out of each reminder they sent. Upon our arrival, they went out of their way by announcing the event at the returning guest dinner, and leaving us some wonderful surprises when we later returned to our room.
Sandals Grand Ocho Rios is huge, but we did what we always do at any all-inclusive resort, no matter the size. We find the pool nearest Watersports and make it our "home base." I think this is a guy thing, similar to the comfort men sense when they have a remote in their hand. They are not necessarily wanting to watch TV, but they have immediate access to it when they do. "Our" pool had a swim-up bar with many areas for sun or shade, with Watersports and ocean directly below.
#1 above is the pool near Watersports. The rest were taken from our balcony
The first pano is fro the small Concierge Balcony, 5th level. #2 pano was taken from our balcony.
