As shown in an earlier shot, the resort is built on the side of a mountain, perhaps 300 to 350 feet higher than the ocean. One has to admire the resourcefulness of the architects to lay out a plan for 40 buildings with dwelling units and 5 swimming pools, plus buildings for restaurants, reception, bars, fitness area, stores, a chapel and other service areas.
This is the balcony for a 1 bedroom suite. Our junior suite had exactly half of what is shown, plenty for two to have breakfast or do some reading.
One of five pools, this one with an area specifically for children.This pool is at about the same level as the reception area. All pools had towel service and a book exchange for folks to pick up books to read around the pool or wherever.
Here is a typical cart path with nice landscaping. Pedrigal is in the background
The swans provide part of the ambiance.
Here cart paths meet. The rocks in the upper background are those shown in a picture in part 1.
Tthis reminded me of Lombard Street in San Francisco. The building in the left top contains units and the one to the right houses offices, reception, and two restaurants.
This is the most colorful of many similar fountains about the resort.
The terracing shown here is the way so many buildings can be built on the steep slope of the mountainside, all with a great view of the ocean.
Dwelling units on the beach. We have never stayed in this area but we will try to do so next year. It is a long were from here to the free wifi area, though!
Here is the pool at the level near the beach, probably the largest of the five. Activities take place here, such as table tennis and pottery painting.
Here is the bar for the bottom pool, and below are the barstools and tables in the water. Food service is in a part of this area.
Every pool are has a hot tub.
And here are cabanas on the beach for those who like to be in the sand and yet have protection from the sun.
