A Beautiful Grenadian 🇬🇩🍹 Seriously, tha A Beautiful Grenadian 🇬🇩🍹

Seriously, that’s the name of this cocktail made for me by Donald at @CoyabaGrenada.

This is how I looked after a day of delicious food, an underwater scooter adventure, a back massage and a brief hunt for a rooster named Boris. If you haven’t already read it, the full story of my day at Coyaba Beach Resort is live on my blog, alybiz.com [link in bio].

Thanks again Coyaba for having me! If you’re looking for a little #ParadiseAtHome this month, contact Coyaba to learn more about their April day pass special ☀️😎

ICYMI, I got to take a brain break with a day pass at @coyabagrenada some time ago. And one of my favourite parts of the day pass is that it comes with a room! So you don’t have to carry a bag everywhere, and when you’re finished lounging by the pool you can head back to your room to lounge some more.

My blog post about my day at Coyaba is now up on alybiz.com. Check it out! [link in bio]

Sometimes I forget that being the boss and only em Sometimes I forget that being the boss and only employee means that I can choose, for the most part, when and how I work. So I was in desperate need of a brain break when my friends at Coyaba Beach Resort invited me to spend the day with them.

Yes, please!

I had an amazing day pass experience and I promise to share all the details soon. Stay tuned for a tale of breakfast potatoes, bougainvillea, an underwater scooter, and a rooster named Boris set in an enchanted garden on the world-famous Grand Anse Beach.

In the meantime, if you’re in need of a brain break or just a fun day with family and friends, I recommend a day pass at @coyabagrenada! For the month of April, you’ll get a day-room, breakfast, lunch, unlimited non-alcoholic beverages, 2 alcoholic beverages, an express back massage and use of the facilities as part of your day pass package.

Happy ☀️ day! There’s nothing like a little Happy ☀️ day!

There’s nothing like a little beach therapy to reset after a hectic week. After all, a sea-bath fixes everything, right? 😅
