We have found Fantasy Island. Little Palm Island is a magical place and we all want to stay here forever. We are the only boat in the tiny little marina. On the island there are 30 little thatched roof huts;one houses a library, another is the spa, the rest are private rooms for guests. The grounds are manicured yet lush with foliage. There are hammocks and lounge chairs set throughout the grounds so that you can stop and enjoy the 360 degrees of ocean view or enjoy the various birds and wildlife that seem completely untroubled by our presence . Check out the photos I took of a great blue heron on the beach - I did not have to use the telescoping lens - I actually got that close. It is the most romantic place ever and no children are allowed here.
The beach is lovely. Lozons are relaxing with ipods in their ears but Tom and I do not lay in the sun well. We get bored. Tom announced that he was going kayaking and put up his flag to alert the Cabana Boy (Yes, you heard me correctly. We have a Cabana Boy - loved it) I said, "I like to kayak" and Tom responded "You like to YAK" But he let me come along anyway. Very cool kayaking through the mangroves although a little creepy too. We took Scrappy along and while not keen on being that close to the water, he did seem fascinated by the all too friendly wildlife.
Dinner on the beachfront terrace was wonderful and so relaxing. There is a giant firepit and a few tiki torches and that is the lighting - period. A guitarist was there to set the perfect mood but the best, best, best part of the night was having this utterly adorable little Key Deer (like a pygmy version of the white tail deer) wander up between Tom and I and stick her nose right in my lap begging for a little treat (which she of course got - are you kidding!) I don't think I have ever seen anything so sweet and precious in the wild and I broke all the laws and gave her my apple chips (served with unbelievably delicious beignets - yummm) And she thanked me by nearly kissing my nose, which was fine with me until my RN friend Lynn alerted, "Wild animal! Wild Animal" I got the pic though and it's really cute.
Eden. This is Eden and we are coming back sometime soon. (with a stock pile of carrots and apples)

I have already suggested this place to Angie and Ryan for their Honeymoom 2011. I'm guessing they should book one of those adorable bungalows immediately!
