And they're always so fascinated to hear about my island upbringing. Those connections turn guests into friends you look forward to seeing again." - Sunil  Ramroop

"As a activities coordinator, I get to plan exciting adventures and experiences that really allow our guests to immerse themselves in the island culture. Seeing their faces light up with amazement when they encounter our beautiful waterfalls or vibrant marine life is so special. I feel lucky to work somewhere that creates such joyful memories." -Natalie Wilison

"Whether it's organizing a beach Trip, arranging a froest hike, Bird river tour or coordinating traditional food tour enhancing our guests' island experience is my passion. When I see how awestruck they are by our rich culture and natural beauty, it reminds me why I love representing my heritage through this job." Eric Thomas

In spite of the fact that I continue to discover sand in strange places, the Maracas Beach was well worth it. This is the bombshell that is the Cannons!
