Testimonial from May 2010

OMG, Leanne. Here it is a month after our return and I never dropped you a line. This was absolutely the best trip EVER to the Cooks. How did you manage to keep the weather at 80 degrees with no rain, and the water temperatures equally as sultry??? The water has never been clearer or warmer. The snorkeling was better than we have ever seen it. This was the first time that I really, really didn't want to leave. I'm usually ready to return after 5 days. But not this time.

We went down to the Muri Lagoon to scope out some other places to stay, but we decided we would never stay anywhere but Palm Grove. It's getting a tiny bit tired-looking, but the beach and location of the Palm Grove absolutely cannot be beat. It's so nice and casual there, the snorkeling is the best, the beach goes on forever (deserted, too), the grocery store is a 5 minute walk, the bus stops right in front of the resort. It just can't be beat.

I thank you very, very much for making all the arrangements for us. It was really a terrific trip. Hope to talk to you again soon!
