Rosanne in hotel room

The lovely Mrs. Brighton celebrates arrival in our really great hotel room at the Grand Palladium Resort.

Paved paths run for literally miles through the various parts of the resort complex.

A raised walkway over jungle

Raised walkways run through jungle, leading to some secluded spots.

Rosanne being followed

...probably to the bar.

Crocodiles on board

Warning: crocodiles are dangerous.

Behind a fence, fortunately.

Pool survey

Rosanne gets a first look at the network of swimming pools throughout the resort.

Kept apart from the crocodiles or course.

The Office

We decided this was our favorite section of the pool network: a swim-up bar.

Hiking through the resort complex

As Rosanne and I discover, the Grand Palladium is really four or five resorts in one.  The place is huge, and beautiful.

Rosanne with fountain

There are almost as many fountains as there are bars.

Rosanne relaxing

Everywhere you turn, there is another bar.
