The beachfront block. Our beachfront room. The view from our room. Ready for the beach. A typical day on the beach. Antiguan greyhound. The wedding pagoda. Fresh coconuts. The split-level swimming pools. In the resort grounds. The cocktail hour. A quiet corner of the Topaz restaurant. Dinner in the Topaz restaurant. A quiet drink in a loud shirt in the Topaz restaurant. Cabaret in the Pineapple Grill restaurant.
