what's happening inside
No, not for turtles this time! This is a new breakfast service for our guests. Our kitchen staff take it in turns each morning to prepare your eggs freshly for breakfast exactly how you want them.
You can choose from omelette, scrambled eggs, poached and fried eggs plus more. Wesley was busy this morning preparing a nice omelette for some guests, I had one yesterday and it was perfect, and as it is the one thing I can’t cook without making a mess,I was very impressed.
After waiting up several nights in a row and checking on our hatchery, our baby Hawksbill Turtles decided to be born at 11am in the morning…. Mother Nature cannot be predicted!
We released them all into the sea with our diving guests watching, a very lovely experience, and quite a busy one, as there were 200 babies, 2 nests hatched at the same time! Photos added as promised.
We have some lovely new treatmentsfor our guests at Pom Pom Island Resort. At our Yin Yang Wellness Centre, we have a Coconut Body Scrub which involves applying the fresh coconut paste over the body. Whilst the paste is applied over the body, we give a gentle head massage to relax and release tension.
This is to cleanse and deeply re-hydrate the skin as well as to smooth wrinkles and soften making it feel younger and fresh. There was a little of the mixture left over for me to try in the shower, and I was very impressed. My skin felt and looked very soft, the only problem is I love the taste of coconut, so I did eat some of it as well.
Our turtle patrol found something interesting the other night, normally its turtles but 2 nights ago they found a baby coconut crab near the beach. When the coconut crab is younger it uses a shell or coconut husk to protect its body, as it grows older, its body hardens to provide it with protection. These funny creatures are becoming endangered and on some islands have become extinct. We will keep you posted, if we find any more. I took a photo of this one, during the day about a week ago near our restaurant, very cute, but best not to touch as they have very strong claws.
Rita, Gianni, Gian Carlo, Mimi, Titziana and Cesar with their children have come back to Pom Pom again this summer to celebrate with us Ferragosta. They come here with their families to relax and unwind, plus enjoy diving every day at one of our local islands.
Its great to see our old friends back again in Pom Pom, and we look forward to celebrating with them.
