Peter Island- Prepare to be Pampered

On a ferry, in the Caribbean sea, I traveled to an island with my husband. This island was a beautiful place, but it was very special to my husband because he worked there at one time and had not returned in about 15 years.

The name of the resort is Peter Island. It has 32 ocean front rooms, 20 Junior suites and 3 giant villas. I don't believe there was more than a hundred people staying there when we were on the island. It was truly a chance to be pampered and relax.  Much of the staff was the same as when Randy had worked there and they were all really friendly, it was nice for him to be able to talk to all those people.

Peter Island is an amazing place. They have a dive shop and you can take a resort course and SCUBA dive for a day. They will take you 30 ft underwater and you get to see a lot of marine life. I did not do this, I chickened out. The people that run the dive shop were fantastic and had great stories about the sea and things that they have seen. We did go on a snorkeling tour with the dive shop and it was a lot of fun.

Peter Island also has sailing trips where you can take a boat out for the day and sail with an experienced sailor and if you wish they do offer overnight trips. We got to visit with Judy, the woman that runs the sailboat, and her daughter while we were there. They were extremely interesting people and I was fascinated with how they live life on the sea.

They also have a variety of things to do on the beach, like wind surfing, paddle boards, and little paddle boats to take out. Our room was right next to the beach so it was nice to be able to walk right over, try these things, get a couple drinks, and lay out in the sun. It was paradise on earth. We also had a really great hammock right outside our room. We got to take a tour of one of the villas, which was a spectacular place. The pool looked like it was part of the sea, even though we were really high up on one of the island's small mountains.


The beach, the food, the people, it's silly but my favorite part were the cookies. I became addicted immediately. There is this wonderful person that works there named Jean and she kept giving me more and more. She was truly a gem. The entire island was amazing and I am so grateful that Randy was able to book such an amazing trip.
