Cottages to Oceanfront Rooms, Deluxe Cottages and Oceanfront Suites – each offering a private, peaceful space to unwind. The intimate size means everything is thoughtfully laid out, so you’re never far from the amenities. Our spacious Deluxe Cottage was beautifully decorated in calming blues and vibrant pinks, perfectly reflecting the Resort’s cheerful yet relaxing style. The high roof with a ceiling fan, plus air conditioning, ensured comfortable and restful sleep. Especially paired with the super-king-sized bed and the smart TV, keeping us entertained with our favourite shows. The bathroom was equally impressive, featuring a large sunken shower and double sinks. Outside, a private patio overlooked the lush gardens and included a mini fridge stocked daily. It truly had everything we needed for a memorable stay. A CULINARY DELIGHT From hearty breakfasts to delicate lunches and delicious dinners, the food at East Winds consistently impresses, with menus that change daily and ingredients often sourced from the Resort’s garden. The oceanfront restaurant offers an outdoor setting, with overhead cover and stunning views, accompanied by the sound of waves and morning birdsong. Breakfasts were a lovely start to the day, with options like banana and chocolate pancakes, fresh fruit and yoghurt, eggs any style, pastries, breads and daily smoothies as well as fry-ups, of course. Lunch featured fresh salads, mains and grill specials. Highlights included grilled chicken with roasted potatoes, barbecued tuna with vegetables, roasted chicken with garlic mash and breaded fish with fries. Desserts were always available in plenty! Dinner was a standout each night, served in four courses. Appetisers ranged from duck breast salad to fish fritters and spring rolls, while mains included roasted Cornish hen, vegetable stir fry, panseared dorado, Caribbean salmon and jerk chicken with coconut curry. Fridays brought a relaxed buffet and barbecue with tuna, spiny lobster or rib-eye steak. Desserts throughout our stay remained indulgent, including passionfruit cheesecake and memorable homemade ice creams that are unforgettable – I loved the nutmeg and pumpkin flavour! One evening, the team arranged a private beachfront gazebo dinner, which was an unforgettable touch – perfect for celebrating special occasions. Evenings included gentle live entertainment and occasional lunchtime steel band performances, adding to the Caribbean feel. Drinks were plentiful too, with excellent cocktails, mocktails, wines and spirits ready to indulge. ACTIVITIES AND EXPERIENCES The resort offers a fantastic array of activities to enjoy! The rum tasting is a wonderful way to learn how the local rum is crafted and sample a variety of options. Hosted by Windel, whose knowledge and charm make the experience even more delightful, it’s the perfect start to a relaxing evening in the cosy Bamboo Lounge before dinner. A true highlight is the cooking class, where you get to watch Head Chef Ivana create delicious meals. We were fully immersed in the experience as fresh produce was used right before our eyes to craft a visually stunning and delicious paella. She demonstrated her remarkable skills and we got a great behind-thescenes look at the hard work that goes into every dish. There were plenty of water activities to choose from during our stay, including paddleboarding, kayaking, Hobie Cat sailing and pedal boats. We especially HONEYMOONS 79
