The View from our room, early morning:
Today we started the day kinda early with a marvelous breakfast at the hotel’s bf buffet. It sports a great variety of foods, from Japanese style things like Miso soup and the like to pancake, belgian waffles and fruit and cereal, made-in-front-of-your-eyes omelettes and more.
Then we went back to sleep for a little nap and around 14.00h got back up more rested and decided to take a little walk around the neighborhood to get to know it, and look at the shops next door.
On our way out we went to the concierge, which turned out to be a really persuasive lady, to book some trips, and we left her with a massage appointment at the Spa, 2 dinner reservations and a full day sailing and snorkeling trip.
Then we strolled around the beach with the sea being pretty wild because of the coming fall winds looking at the other hotels in our surrounding.
Right next to our Resort there is the Whaler village, a little shopping and food center, which shops for your daily needs like Tiffany&Co, Versace and Bulgari, but also food like McDonald’s Express , some Pizza and of course - the asian stuff — oh and Häagen-Dasz.
I got a small bowl of some-or-the-other Dazzler, dulce-de-leche-icecream, warm caramel, whipped cream and bananas! It was sooooo good.
Tania got some fries and with a full stomach we went back to the hotel and watched a little TV, until our massage appointment at 18.00h at the Heavenly Spa.
Around 17.30 we went to the Spa to hang out a little around the Spa to relax, go to the sauna and generally hang out before.
The massage was really welcomed and relaxing, although it always manages to hurt a little.. After that we agreed on half an hour in our respective changing rooms with included sauna, steam-room and hot-tub.
There I met a really nice Mauian guy who comes to the Spa every once in a while and works as a waiter - like everyone here - and I promised to come by one of the next to days.
I hang out in the steam-room, the hot-tub and took a nice warm shower, shaved and used all the amenities of the trade…
After we came to our room, we changed and went then went to our dinner appointment to the tropica - the local westin restaurant directly at the beach - and had a fabulous dinner, complete with tomato-mozarella, chicken and chocolate-tart & espresso.
