Today is also our first full day at the St. Regis. We decided to spend the morning at the resort's Oasis Pool after having breakfast delivered to our villa.
Our cabana consisted of a platform that could be closed on three sides with canvas shades. It had two cushioned chaise lounges and a small table. Right in front of our cabana we had a private shallow jetted pool and a larger, deeper plunge pool that could only be accessed from our cabana. The five cabanas all surrounded a deeper pool replete with a waterfall. It was a pretty cool scene and we had the entire pool to ourselves most of the morning.
We then hopped a golf cart back to our villa. We hung out on our deck and in our private pool for a while and then decided to walk the 25 steps or so out our front door to go snorkeling in the resort’s lagoonarium. Andrea brought a Ziploc bag with some rolls left over from last night’s dinner to entice the fish to smile for the camera. They did not disappoint.
Following an excellent snorkeling session, we went back to the villa to kick it while waiting for the sunset. Wade plugged his iPod into the dock that came with our villa and we listened to music and splashed around in our pool for the next couple of hours. Such a rough life.
We decided to celebrate our one-week anniversary and the sunset in style, so we ordered a cheese and fruit plate along with some Veuve Amiot to be delivered to the room. Ooh la la! We just love the French part of French Polynesia!
At 6:30pm, we headed to the Jean-Georges restaurant that is on site, Lagoon. We snagged one of only four tables that are outside and facing Mount Otemanu. The view was spectacular and the food very good, as well. Celebrity note: Keyshawn Johnson (formerly of the Carolina Panthers) was eating at the next table.
All in all, a very good one-week anniversary!
