It's certainly in the running for the world's best infinity pool, thanks to its ocean views from a raised vantage point, shady cabanas, sun loungers (both on the deck and in the pool), lush tropical plants and palm trees. ![]() But they take absolutely no interest in us, instead chasing fish and weaving effortlessly around us.Īs we cruise back to the island, I decide I'm happy to let that be the peak of my active experiences for this holiday and spend the rest of my trip in prime relaxation mode, enjoying a luxurious massage at the spa and plenty of time lying on the beach and by the pool.Īt the western tip of the island is The Rocks, the resort's adults-only area with bar, restaurant, stunning infinity pool and photogenic lounging spots at every vantage point.
