The Beach House 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

The Great House is the hub of all things Necker Island. Not only does it contain many gorgeous open bedrooms, outfitted with enormous terraces, but the house's perch on the island's highest points also grants it some incredibly scenic lounging possibilities. In fact, up on the roof, you'll find a jacuzzi big enough for four at a time.

Don't fight over it.

Rooms 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

Every private room has a double or twin beds, depending on what's suitable and/or funny which one you're assigned. Every room comes with a private en-suite bathroom and a beautiful view of the beach on either side of the island.

Dining 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

The Great House has a spacious dining room, where you'll find an extensive tropical breakfast in the morning. There's seating area outside as well, and the woman behind the bar will make you any number of cocktails if you ask nicely.

Terrace 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

The Great House comes with a wrap-around terrace that supports hammocks and cosy sofas. There are board games and even chess sets available - and a fully-stocked bar.

The Great House 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

In the center of the Great House, you'll find the deck, which provides a stunning scenic view of the surrounding area, more seating, a pool table and a piano. Also, champagne. And a lot of it.

And if you take the stairs up, you'll find a four-person jacuzzi. Nice!

Infinity Pool 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

Just outside the house sits an enormous infinity pool. It's not quite as stunning a sight as some of the other pools on the island, but on the other hand-- it's an infinity pool, right by your house.

Rest of the Island

[momslilassassin]

There are several other houses on the island, many of which offer different kinds of facilities for those looking for a thrill.

The Beach House 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

The Beach House is the second-biggest place on the island. It rests between the island's two tennis courts and provides lunch as well as a bar and game tables... and the most impressive pool of them all.

Seating Area 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

Like most places on Necker Island, the Beach House comes with an extensive seating area. There are sofas outside on the tennis- and swimming pool sides, but you can also opt to drop yourself on the large couches upstairs, which provide a more panoramic view - and game tables.

Tennis Court 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

Technically, there are two tennis courts right outside the Beach House. Grab a racket, a ball and a friend, and play a game. If you dare do that in the glaring Caribbean sun, anyway.

Beach Pool 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

Beach House supports what has to be the island's most impressive pool, a sprawling freeform infinity pool with a swim-up bar. Nearby is a nice thatched house with chairs to sit at, if that's more your jam.

Bali Samudra Spa 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

Time for a massage? Bali Samudra Spa lies in full view of the main beach, so you can relax and laugh at your classmates as they exert themselves out on the water.

Giant Jacuzzi 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

And finally, Beach House supports a 30-seat jacuzzi right outside the pool, in case all the other luxury wasn't great enough. Beat Kuzco here because it's funny.

"Boom, baby!" Kuzco yelled, cannonballing into the jacuzzi like an obnoxious emperor who didn't want to share.

Temple House 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

Temple House is a large, round, Balinese-style house further along on the island. It's got a lounging area with an enormous library - and of course another infinity pool outside.

Turtle Beach 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

Sandy Turtle Beach sits right outside the Beach House, fringed by palm trees and offering hammocks to hang out in. There's a table set up for lunch dining if you're in the mood, an aqua-trampoline anchored in the bay and kayaks and-- oh, right, there's also the ocean.

Bored of lounging already? You can always take the zipline down from the Great House to the beach.

Re: Turtle Beach 2/23 [morning]

[not_every_mage]

Anders had spent a lot of this vacation in hammocks, and he didn't see a good reason to break the streak. But he did take a break to try out the aqua-trampoline. For something that made him feel vaguely seasick, it was fun.

Main Beach 2/23 [morning]

[momslilassassin]

On the other side of the island is the Main Beach. It's just as sandy as Turtle Beach, but it's a bit busier, with stations for various water activities including kite surfing and tubing.

Off Island

[momslilassassin]

Being on Necker Island isn't exactly much of a chore, but it might get boring. Today's trip takes the students down to Prickly Pear Island, a small island not far from Necker. It features a national park and West Indian buffet, among other things.

Snorkeling

[momslilassassin]

The prime attraction on Prickly Pear is its beautiful reefs; grab a snorkel and maybe some flippers and take to the sea, marveling at all the tropical fish.

RE: Snorkeling

[throughaphase]

Kitty had spent so much time in the water here that she was slightly concerned about turning pruny permanently, but come on, snorkeling! She even had a cheap waterproof camera for the trip so hopefully it actually worked and her pictures came out.

Beach Bar

[momslilassassin]

If that's less your style, there's still a beach bar and restaurant, offering a range of cocktails, non-alcoholic drinks and a vast West Indian buffet - including a lot of local seafood.

Beaches

[momslilassassin]

Of course, there's always the beaches, too. Much like Necker, Prickly Pear has a variety of sandy beaches along its shores. The islet is usually uninhabited, so you can expect a lot of privacy if you decide to wander away from your classmates. There are plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas out at the main beach if you like socializing better, though.

Re: Beaches

[boneyard_girl]

Ada had wandered away from her classmates, finding an isolated, sunny part of the beach to lay out her towel.

She braided her hair up on top of her head before laying down on her stomach, untying the back of her bikini before opening her book to start her reading.

For once, all her scales were out and on display as she soaked up the sun, working on her tan. No tan lines for her, thanks, and it just felt good to not have to artfully re-arrange her hair constantly to hide the cascading scales down the back of her neck and along her collarbone.

She'd rejoin everyone later, but for now... she was openly a mermaid, actually enjoying the tropical island. Pretending to be human could wait a bit longer.

[OOC: Open, sure!]

OOC

[momslilassassin]

I want to be on a beach.
