[bigdamnprincipal]

Yes, it was a Monday, but it was the first wake-up of the trip. A whole day of sun, breeze, beach, and fun awaited Fandom's guests today. Time to get up and get out there!

HOTEL

[bigdamnprincipal]

One of the first all-inclusive wellness boutique hotels in Barbados, wellness is at the core of Waves Resort & Spa, which features tranquil surroundings and exceptional service, all inspired by the style of South Beach.

Rooms

[bigdamnprincipal]

The chaperones have been assigned Ocean Front split-level rooms, and the students have been given Ocean Front rooms with two doubles or a king-sized bed depending on what's funnier.

[OOC: Your assignments are here. As always, NSFW posts go into personal journals!]

Room 303

Ignis had himself a fresh cup of coffee from Jamaican beans and the warmth of the morning rising sun on his face. He might not be able to enjoy the view from these balconies in quite the same way as his other trip-goers, but there was also the sound of the nearby ocean, the faint breeze, the slightest hint of extra salt with every sip.

He was certain he might start getting a bit antsy toward the end of the trip, but he really was getting much better at this whole leisure thing...

Food

[bigdamnprincipal]

Seascape has Mediterranean-inspired cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Or try Shiso for Asian fusion or the Kyma coffee bar for cafe items and grab-and-go snacks.

Amenities

[bigdamnprincipal]

Spa

[bigdamnprincipal]

Pamper yourself with wellness treatments like facials, massages, body scrubs, manicures and pedicures. Or visit one of the complimentary fitness or yoga classes before a dip in the pool.

Pool

[bigdamnprincipal]

Sure, the beach is right there. But maybe you fancy a dip in some chlorinated water instead? Or you want to check out the adults-only spa pool.

Gym

[bigdamnprincipal]

The resort boasts a complimentary on-site fitness center with state-of-the-art machines and complimentary yoga and Pilates classes daily.

Resort Activities

[bigdamnprincipal]

Both in and out of the water there's plenty to do!

Beach

[bigdamnprincipal]

The 'Platinum coast' of Barbados boasts stunning white sand and crystal-clear water. It's not to be missed!

EXPLORE

Island Safari

[bigdamnprincipal]

Pickup time is 8:30 am for this 5.5 hour on- and off-road tour of the island, which ends with lunch and a drink at Sandy's Chattel Bar after which the shuttle will bring you back to the hotel.

Anakin never said no to an activity that was mostly sitting in one place and learning, especially when it ended at a bar.

Re: Island Safari

[noonedecidesmyfate]

This seemed the perfect sort of way to start off the trip (yesterday had been settling in and that didn't truly count). So once Belle had had breakfast she headed for the safari.

Re: Island Safari

[pun_king]

If you asked Graham, the words safari and adventure were practically synonymous, and so you better believe he was there with his cloak and adventurer's cap, ready to see the island and all it had in store...

...at first glance, anyway. He was definitely going to be making mental notes to insoure further adventures as the week went on!

Re: Island Safari

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Sabine could sit around any day, but she sort of really wanted an opportunity to see things besides the resort. Maybe she'd get inspired by something. Her phone would be out for pictures to maybe recreate somehow later.

Re: Island Safari

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

Yoga had ended with just enough time for her to change and grab a hearty breakfast before the safari pickup, so Arden was bright and ready to go! She couldn't wait to use all the tips and techniques Professor Argentum had taught to grab the most beautiful pics of the island.

Re: Island Safari

Look, when you were vacationing with a two-year-old, anything that involved sitting for good periods of time with a lot of things to distract said two-year-old going on was immediately going to appeal to Prompto, especially if that sitting also allowed him to get some good shots in. So with a bag all but stuffed with camera and baby gear, and Noctra in tow, they settled in, and then, hopefully, the whole thing would tucker her out enough by the end of it that they could have some nice quiet time in the hotel room while she just napped until dinner time.

Codrington College

[bigdamnprincipal]

Located on the east coast, come explore the lovely grounds of this historic college, which include the lake, the chapel, beautiful architecture, benches, picnic tables, and a play park for children.

Bridgetown

[bigdamnprincipal]

Bridgetown is the beating heart of Barbados. Both its capital and largest city, it’s a vibrant, vivacious place steeped in history, where its unique blend of African, American and British heritage comes alive.

Re: Bridgetown

[unusual_sith]

Oh, this sounded interesting! And the city reminded her a bit of a more human (and cleaner) version of Rishi.

Hopefully with fewer monkey-lizards.

She was definitely hitting up the Mount Gay rum tour!

Music N Echo Ltd. - Bridgetown

[x_wondrous_x]

In his searching for record stores to check out in Bridgetown, Stewart actually found Music N Echo Ltd., which not only sold music and mixing equipment, but...rented it, as well.

And now he was getting ideas, and he highly doubted Charlie would have any strong objections if he had some equipment in the room for the duration of their stay, and now he was also wondering what Summer had in mind for musical accompaniment to her party...

Food Exploration

[bigdamnprincipal]

In Barbados, an exciting mix of local, regional and international flavours are well represented throughout the island. Whether you're looking for a sophisticated five star, fine dining experience or more lowkey and comforting delights, you're sure to find it.
