We went ashore after breakfast, carrying our snorkel gear as I was convinced that Amber Cove had a beach. I was wrong. It has a wonderful pool with a swim-up bar and cabanas on the water that we could rent for $540 for 4 hours (no thank you). But no beach. We hung out in the kiddie pool area (and got drenched by the water bucket) and had a huge drink in the pool bar ($21 but big enough for two and you can take the goblet home – not a bad deal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More cards and a late night snack, then off to bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
