Necker Island, Saturday Morning/Afternoon

You had one last morning in paradise, Fandom. Time to hit the pineapple buffet for the last time, maybe try some jetskiing, or knock Kuzco out of the jacuzzi.

Have fun.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Just outside the house sits an enormous infinity pool, which remains warm even in the nighttime hours. Jump in, give it a try! There'll be plenty more swimming to do elsewhere for the rest of the week, but there's no place like home.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

And finally, Beach House supports a 30-seat jacuzzi right outside the pool, in case all the other luxury wasn't great enough.

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.

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.

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. Try your hand at kite surfing, jetskiing, tubing, sailing... or go diving or snorkeling.

Meh.

Rey was determined to get the hammock right today.

It wasn't working yet. But she would get there!

If you thought Kitty was leaving here without trying something called an aqua-trampoline you were sorely mistaken.

Was it possible she was having more fun on vacation than some of the kids? Yes.
