So in this video, we're going to take a tour of the Oasis Lagoon, which is the
largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean.
Now we're going to take a walk around it in just a second.
You get a pretty good idea of what the pool looks like by this picture, but we're
going to walk around most of the pool.
You get a chance to see what it looks like.
Well, this is coming in from the buffet area, and that was in
the first video about Coco Cay.
And so we're coming in from the buffet area and we're going to take a quick
walk around and look at the pool.
Now you'll notice that there are some storm clouds building around.
You'll see more of them later in and the wind kind of picks up.
So what I will say is that we're going to wind up, not having quite as good
a day as we'd hoped here by the pool.
In fact, I cut the footage out, but we got trapped in the rainstorm,
had all the camera gear out.
So we had to buckle it up.
But you'll notice right here to start with, there was a lot of
life jackets and the one side is for cleaned, ready to wear.
The other side is where you put them back.
There was an abundance of life jackets.
This area that we're looking at behind the life jackets.
And we'll go up here and walk around it here just a second.
But this area is a nice sloping ramp.
So for people that have some mobility, but can't deal with steps
and ladders to get in and out of pools, this is a perfect option.
It's also a great place for the little ones to play because it
starts out really shallow and continues out gradually to drop off.
So for the little ones that may be a little timid about getting into really
deep water ,it's a great place to start.
Now.
I lost my, uh, uh, let's call my wife my prop for this shoot.
She went the other direction.
So we're going to go back and find her.
And you'll notice on this side that it says that these are not ready for use.
That's where the empty (used) ones go back to.
But Cheryl had found, something that was really interesting.
So we're going to go over here and take a look at it.
This is one of the two pool lifts that are here at the pool.
So for those that need assistance, getting into the water, there's
two pool lifts available.
And so it makes it really nice and easy for somebody that does have some
challenges to be able to get into that.
The wind is picking up again.
You see the storm clouds building behind Cheryl.
So, while she rearranged her hat, we took a break and now we're
going to continue around the pool on the side, where we came in.
And one of the things you'll notice now we're pretty early in the
morning, which makes a big difference.
And like I said, it was cloudy, so that probably made a
difference as well, but there were definitely no shortage of chairs.
And I think that, you know, until we started seeing full ships and multiple
ships on the island at the same time, I don't think you'll ever run out of a
place to find shade and a chair to sit in.
The red balloon you see there is Up,Up, and Away.
It is a tethered, helium balloon that reaches a height of 450 feet on calm
days so that you can see not only all of Ocean Cay and the surrounding islands,
but you just have an amazing view.
It is one of the highest vantage points in The Bahamas.
It is incredible and it is completely accessible.
They can get your wheelchair down a path to the balloon and into the
gondola so that you can go up and enjoy the amazing scenery to be seen.
You can see that we found some seagulls that like that
shallow entry ramp as well.
Here's another rack of the life jackets on the other side.
You can see off to the right in the sand there are a ton of loungers
and there are umbrellas for them.
Some are two lounges with an umbrella, some are four with
an umbrellas we saw there,
When I'm not looking at the pool, it's because there may be people there
we're trying to avoid to the extent possible getting people in the video.
But again, it just, it's a really beautiful pool.
Take a look out here and here, the water's crystal clear, we had
somebody coming out of the pool there.
Lots of places to sit.
Back in behind there, there's the pool cabanas.
You can not get there in a wheelchair or scooter, but you can get a
beach wheelchair to get there.
Now we'll see off on the left, you see more of the pool.
You'll see the pool bar up here ahead.
, at this time of day, the pool bar was empty.
We would actually, when the storm came, we were going the other
direction and we wound up, uh, hiding out in the pool bar on the dry side
of it to get away from the weather.
And it was interesting, they had these tables inside of the pool area, so that
if you wanted to sit there with a drink, you had a table and then within the
water, you could sit there and enjoy that.
There's a one, and you'll see one right there on the left as we go.
And this was the end of the road, as far as this particular
path goes for a wheelchair.
We would pick up our tour and the following day and the pool bars would
be over to the left side in this view as a lot of people right in
there,so I'm kind of looking away.
This was really one of the few grassy areas, most of the areas away from the
pool were sandy, but this is a little grassy area where people were resting.
One of the things that you'll see is we have our second pool lift
up here, coming up on the left.
This is the there's one farther up.
We'll see it again in a minute.
And that walkway right there walks over to the pool bar.
So if you're on this side and you want to get to the pool bar, you can just
take the little bridge to go across that.
Also provides shade for those that wanted to hang out underneath.
If you've been out in the sun a little more than you needed to,
you get a chance to resolve that.
But we're just going to walk along here and kind of cover the
areas that we didn't get covered in the earlier part of the video.
And you'll see again, in the, along the edge there, you don't see it, as
well as you could earlier in the early piece of this, but there are these
loungers that are sitting in the water.
They're not, they don't seem to be anchored in place.
I didn't try to move one, but they seem to get rearranged.
So they seem to be just loungers.
You can see them there where you can sit on this area of shallow water and
enjoy that and get a little bit of sunshine, and stay cool in the process.
There's the second pool lift.
Hope you've enjoyed this short tour.
