Sometimes I amaze myself, Eco! If I ever stay there again (and I'm praying for a third visit), I hope I get the same room, 'cause I believe it was the best room at the resort. Didn't have a view of the beach or the sea from my veranda or bedroom window, but the view was breathtaking nonetheless--surrounded by every kind of tree (ackee, breadfruit, coconut, etc) and flora found in Jamaica and with an interesting view of daily life at the homes behind Alfred's Ocean Palace and the comforting sounds of barking dogs, cats, goats, and chickens. Only next time I'm determined to stay no fewer than 4 nights and to hire one of the boats to take me out to the reef to go snorkeling. Last time, even though I packed my mask and snorkle, I never even got my toes wet in the surf at the hotel. Of course, I did take a dip at Canoe, but the less said about that, the better.
