Just to make it clear to those not familiar with Swept Away, the pool mentioned above is in the sports complex, across the street from the main resort area of Swept Away. There is another pool not geared at all towards sports activities located near the beach in the main resort. You are probably only allowed to use the sports complex pool if you stay at Idle Awhile because I think you only get use of the sports facilities. Most of the people who stay at Swept Away probably never even check out the sports complex so don't feel as though everyone there will be exercising all day and eating healthy food. It is there if you want to use it.

Whoops! sorry Cartera is right it was the pool in the Sports Complex - I was suprised to see how many people were using the sports facilities to say it was the off-season (April) I would die playing tennis in that heat! We were sweating just watching them.

Regarding your question about TVs at Swept Away, the new section of the hotel, which they call the verandah suites, have TVs. This section is a semi-circle of garden apartments, three stories high, that face the beach. A bit more congested than the old section but still lovely. The rooms in the older section, which we prefer, have no TVs.

Beaches at both CN and CSA are very calm and crystal clear (CN is lil more clear in my opinion)....

CN is in Bloody Bay which is shared with 2 other resorts. CSA is on 7 miles beach shared with numerous resorts.

CN is the newest of the 3 (now 4 with Sans Souci) resorts.

CSA is more sports/athletics oriented

CN has an artsy/tropical/rustic decor

CSA has bungalow style rooms with dark wooden shutters, white linens, etc.

CN's beach is a lil deeper

CN has a private fenced off area of their beach for nude sunbathing / CSA does not

CN has a huge pool with a swim up bar / CSA does not, however, one is being built and should be complete by Feb 2006
