Hola and Happy Valentimes Day from Sunny Samana! (Yes, I know that is not how you spell Valentine’s but if you watch 30 Rock, and you should, you’d know why it’s funny this way…)
Today we spent the morning hiding from the sun, before heading over to Cayo Leventado (an island in the bay directly offshore from our resort) to do some of the “watersports” that the resort offers. We snorkled for about 30 minutes, but grew tired of it, and the limited underwater scenary. We saw a few fish, and a couple of huge starfish, but that was it. Afterwards we wandered the beach, and explored the resort. The Grand Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado is brand new, and was nearly empty of guests. The property is incredible, but I would not trade it for ours as the layout and distance between rooms and the beach and the pool and the restaurants, etc is huge whereas ours is compact and better laid out.
After returning from Cayo Levantado, we cleaned up and headed to Le Gourmet (one of the a la carte restaurants at our resort) for dinner. The hotel staff had the entire eating areas at all of the restaurants decorated in a Valentine’s theme, and some of the staff members (specifically the Animation Team – responsible for entertaining the guests) were dressed up as Cupid, Romeo & Julieta, and an old loving couple… It was a nice treat!
