Grand Bay Resort - secret jacuzzi

Gotta get off the dock in one hour so this one will be a quick one...

We've really enjoyed our stay at the Grand Bay Resort ...and marina.  As a marina guest you have the run of the hotel and resort.  This week the marina has a Valentines special rate of 50 cents a foot so that makes for pretty cheap moorage for Traveler, somewhere about thirty dollars a day.  Once we found out we could use the hotel facilities we went on a search for the perks.  Here is what we found.

Connie and Ezrah found out there is free Yoga each morning and afternoon so they went for it while I went on a reconnaissance mission.

We heard there was a fourth pool and a second jacuzzi up on the 10th floor somewhere, so we set out to find it. After wandering around for a while we cracked the code and found the secret spot. Actually, some fellow cruisers tipped us off to many of these perks.

You go past the pool, there are three of these connected by water slides. Note the thatch covered sunken bar in the swimming pool.  Swim up, have a drink.

Through the patio restaurant and around this nondescript corner

and down this medieval tunnel

Up the elevators to floor 7, then around the corner past this guy.

Down the hall

That's the overhead walkway we are looking for.

And this is that overhead walkway that goes up to floor 10

And Voila!  you arrive at the 10 floor penthouse pool. Notice the fresh towels

And there is the little wonderful hot jacuzzi, our own little private place.

Later on we crashed a private dinner with a full Mexican marachi band playing.  Great music.  Yes, we danced.

And we all used the multiple pools, starting at the top pool and moving down to the other pools via water slides.

But it is almost 3:00 PM and I better get the boat ready to move out to the lagoon anchorage..which is free.  But we will come back to this marina, and the hotel on occasion.  Hey, I've got a few internet access codes left.  We'll just have to sneak over in the dinghy and take showers, swim in the pools, go to the lobby, and do some internet surfing.   Maybe we'll find some free music to boot!
