    Emily on our Bungalow’s Deck
    “Our 2nd Honeymoon in Paradise” Trip Report Index: Daraius:  We reached the hotel at 8:00 am, but it was too early to check-in.  I had negotiated an upgrade from a garden bungalow booked for 50,000 Hilton points for 1 night to a Panoramic Overwater bungalow for ~$200 per night.  I had requested bungalow #87 which is right at the end, so I was happy to hear that bungalow #87 would be prepared for us once the folks staying in it left.

    Bungalow #87 is right at the end and is a bit more private than the other bungalows, but it is also more windy.

    We freshened up in a transit bungalow, walked around the hotel and took pictures of the hotel and different room locations, had lunch and then checked into our bungalow at ~12:00 noon.

    Here’s a video review of the bungalow and a view of the other bungalows near #87.

    Emily Outside Our Bungalow

    There was a large living room past the bathroom as you entered.

    Our favorite spot was the deck of our 1st overwater bungalow!

    Daraius on the Deck

    There was a big deck with beautiful views of the lagoon.

    Beautiful Views

    There were 2 deck chairs to lounge on.

    With a very peaceful view from them.

    The Upper Deck

    But the most exciting part of the deck were the stairs leading down to…

    …a smaller deck…
    …And Down…
    …with stairs directly into the lagoon!
    Straight Into the Water
    Daraius:  The best part about the room was the view and the private deck where you can go snorkeling or swimming in the ocean!  I could have looked at the water forever.
    I Could Stare at this Forever!
    Emily Jablon:  There was even a place to shower by the lower deck.  Notice the solar panels at the top of the bungalow too.
    Time for a Shower

    We took a quick peak under the bungalow, and didn’t want to do that again!

    Below the Bungalow
    Daraius:  In terms of privacy, bungalow #87 was right at the end.
    Other Bungalow (#86) in the Background
    But not entirely private since we could see the deck of bungalow 86 through our living room window.  Have a look at the video ” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>to see what’s around the bungalow.

    Emily Jablon:  There was also a table in the main deck – great for eating and gazing into the calm waters.

    The room was so nice….it had a full bathroom with a rainbath shower…

    The bedroom opened into the bathroom, though there is a privacy screen.

    View From the Bedroom

    The room also had a bed which was very comfortable.

    The Bed

    The shutters in the bedroom opened which let in a nice breeze.

    Bedroom Shutters

    There was a living area with a sofa, chair, tv, and a DVD player.

    Living Room

    There was a glass bottom to see the fish, but we didn’t see any.  But it did make for a very pleasant experience.

    Bungalow #87 is right at the end, so there are high winds outside.  We could hear them at night!  The water was also a bit chilly to go swimming in.

    We got up at 6:00 am the next morning for our whale and dolphin watching expedition and could see the beautiful sunrise from our room!
