Perfect day in Coco Cay!

We arrived at Coco Cay, a private island owned by Royal Carribean, early Saturday morning.  We did almost all of our sailing at night.  We didn't get to enjoy a lot of the activities on the ship because the cruise was so short and because we were so exhausted every night.
We were so excited for our beach day.  It was so hot and humid.  We had to meet the rest of the Vasayo group on South Beach (that happened to be the farthest place on the island) for a group picture.  I got cranky because it was so hot and we had a hard time finding where to go.  I did have to apologize to Keith for what I said when I was hot!  He is a patient man! 
We finally found South Beach and we were so happy to be able to get in the water and cool off.  We found a place right by a bar and we were able to use our drink pass on the island.  I was a new woman with a cold drink in my hand and my feet in the ocean.

Here is the Vasayo group.  After the group picture we had the rest of the day to ourselves.  I was so happy that Keith didn't have to worry about anything on the beach and we could just relax and spend time together. 
South beach was gorgeous.  We found some lounge chairs and set up and then got in the water.
It was the perfect beach, white sand and the ocean was a great temperature.  It took a minute to get used to it, but it was so refreshing on hot day. 
We stayed in the water for a while and just relaxed.  The views were amazing. 
I'm glad we started the day off at South beach.  We left after lunch so we could explore the rest of the island, but this was the best beach for sure.  We went to another beach on the island and the water was not as clear.  Keith ended up getting stung by a jelly fish. Poor guy, he was in pain.  The doctor on the island gave him some cream and Benadryl, but it was painful for him. 
We loved relaxing on our lounge chairs after we swam.  It was beautiful.  There were a few different places to eat on the island and it was all included with the cruise.  We ate a nice lunch and had some good snacks too. 
We went back on the boat to grab a few things that we forgot after lunch.  When we came back to the island we went back to South beach.  We took a back way and got to enjoy some incredible views.  
We got back in the water for a while and then enjoyed a pina colada on the beach.   
It doesn't get much better than this!  We were on the island for most of the day. 
When we got back on the boat that night we showered and relaxed for a while and then we decided to order room service instead of go to the dining room that night.  We had a great night relaxing and we got to see this beautiful sunset from our balcony.  I didn't sleep great on the trip, but that night I slept so good, it was great to sleep through the night and wake up feeling refreshed!
