Incidentally, where is the best snorkel spot at Rhodes? straight out? how far?
Rhodes Hall would be a great spot for solitude and peace and quiet.
Chef Shane is very talented and has a great personality.
gerryg123, Just swim out and several reefs there with some kick--- snorkeling!! Guess the fact that it is a bit further from the reefs near Booby Cay...less traffic, protected reefs....whatever the reason, it is worth it check it out if you enjoy snorkeling. Plus, a nice relaxing place to chill for a while afterwards. It's definitely worth the trip for a chill-axing day!
Great tip about Green Island supermarket nice and close to RHP...Thanks SweetSue!
<<<Shane is a GREAT Chef and fren!!!-When we would go up to Bayview to eat,i would tell him make what every you want for me.Everything that came in front of us left as a clean plate)-One time we was at a webcast at Canoe,we knew we would eat a little there.so i told him we will be back latter after the restraunt is closed,he said no problem mon,i'll wait to the last mintue to make ya sum ting and wrap it up for ya.And wait for you and your family!!That we did not want him to do,but he said no problem mon,i'll do it for ya.It was an awesome meal he made for my family.We took it up to our room and the next morning brought back the clean plates.He made my girl a little pizza for her

Agree!!!-Snorkling around the shore and by the little rock island behind the pool is good too.Its all protected.We snorkeled ALL around.We never got tired of exploring deffernt places to look around to look.Then we would go back to the same spots just to go see if the same fish was in the same spot.Never got tired of snorkling around Rhodes!!

Same here. My only source of consternation is when you snorkel between the big rock and the pool is that it can get a little bit shallow and those spiny urchins look awfully close!! Could have been a trick of the eye - distance looks different underwater but no harm, no injury incurred and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Rhodes Hall is beyond gorgeous. Spent a day there in 2009. Seriously considered staying there for this trip, but just decided it'd be too quiet for me, I'm in need of some noise & lots of people around! Anyhoo, there are chickens, guineas and some outstanding peacocks all over the property. And if you wander around quietly, you'll catch site of a Mongoose! I actually got a pick of this little critter when I was there. Ooh they actually had an Ackee tree with Ackee on it ready to eat! It's a true paradise, honestly. I'll try to attach a pick of the Mongoose, I could not believe my eyes, we were actually talking about spotting Mongoose & here he came as if on cue!
