Pool day at Jacana Amazon Wellness Resort in Suriname

Hello, my dearest Story Time friends from around the world!😁😀 I am back with another adventure for you guys. On today's adventure, the Story Time U.F.O. is traveling to Jacana Amazon Wellness Resort in Suriname.👾👽🛸 This hotel is well known for its unique and beautiful swimming pool.🏊 I certainly had fun living it up in their pool. They had a deal where an adult pays $7.50 for a midweek pool pass. My friend and I went for some relaxation. We got there early in the morning. Because I mostly plan on filming or capturing content for you guys I prefer to visit Hotels and Restaurants in Suriname during the hours that they are less crowded.🏨 Practicing on my blog for you guys I get to learn a lot. The more my blog grows, the more I try to upgrade as I learn along the way.  My new three-point lighting system arrived and I was eager to test it out and review it for you guys.🪔🔦💡 But unfortunately, they didn't have any electric outlets available at Jacana Amazon Wellness Resort in Suriname. Or at least not by the pool area. 🙄The other downside to this is that if you're planning to relax for a full day by the pool you have to keep your phone battery percentage in account.📱🔌 But of course, I got to test my new lighting system after visiting Jacana Resort. I'll be sharing a review of the three-point lighting system for you guys in the near future.

But now back to Story Time at Jacana Amazon Wellness Resort in Paramaribo.✍📖🔖

Due to the lack of parking space, you can tell that this hotel is meant more for foreigners. If you're planning on traveling to Suriname soon and looking for a hotel with an entertaining swimming pool Jacana Amazon Wellness Resort is the place to stay. This hotel is located on Commewijne Street number 35. If you visit before 6pm they only have the pool menu available.🥘🍲 I have to admit that for such a beautiful hotel I expected them to have more options on their pool menu. Most of the things that I wanted to order or try out weren't available. Or else you guys know, I would have gone for a Pina Colada!🍸🥥

Despite that, I still had a lot of fun in the swimming pool.🩱 In no time my inner child was happily exploring all corners of the swimming pool. Even though I am 30 years old now, it felt like I was an energetic 5-year-old at a waterpark. I climbed up and down the pool multiple times to reach the hidden pools in the waterfall. It was a good exercise, good enough to burn off that Chocolate milkshake and Mudslide cocktail that we ordered. The Mudslide was a chocolate goodness 🍫with alcohol. But the alcohol wasn't overpowering and balanced well with the chocolate. 

From the main menu, we ordered the shrimp alfredo pasta.🥘😋 My friend who was going to help me shoot the video wanted to share a plate. We learned our lesson from ordering too much food at the Coffee Box. Turns out she was right! As it's slowly becoming a habit on my Story Time blog I made a video of my Visit at Jacana Amazon Wellness Resort for you guys to watch. 🎥I was actually excited to share some of my friend's work with you guys. She is a professional with years of experience in the photography business 📷📸behind her. Just as we were about ready to set up everything I realized I forgot my power bank⌁ and the place didn't have any available electric plugs🔌 available for us that were nearby the pool. That's a pity, especially if you want to keep guests staying longer. In the Horeca it's no secret that the longer the guest stays, the more he or she pays!💰💸 But maybe I shouldn't even make them aware of these things.😂😉😋 At least that way you can spare some damage to your wallet or credit card. Jacana Amazon Wellness Resort offers different payment forms. You can pay with your credit card if you're vacationing in Suriname, but there is a 5 % fee that they take into account from their side. If you're a tourist visiting in Suriname I'd rather suggest that you withdraw cash at a Mastercard or Visa ATM.💳 The cost can slowly stack up, I'm only pointing this out because many of my traveling friends 🛫🛬have mentioned experiencing this during their travels in Suriname. They also accept cash💰 payments and cards💳 from local Surinamese bank accounts. When we got there I enjoyed taking in the view of the place. I have to admit that when it comes to recreating a natural-themed swimming pool they did a great job. The trees🌴 and beautiful flowers💮add to creating a warm and relaxing tropical 🌞surrounding. After changing into our bathing suits🩱 we ended up ordering our first cocktails. I chose a mudslide cocktail and my friend decided to have a chocolate milkshake. When we got there the weather was warm and sunny and a cold drink was needed to cool off. 😅The mudslide cocktail tasted good. 

I want to remind you guys that I am running a Mother's Day sale on the Story Time Merchandise store. Enter promo code MOTHERSDAY at checkout for a 30% discount. My sale is running till the end of May and it is not valid on shoes. While in the merchandise store don't forget to check out our Story Time in the Caribbean merchandise. I had fun climbing and exploring all corners of the Jacana swimming pool. It's a great place to relax on a tropical day in Paramaribo. Later in the day, it started raining, but I didn't let that stop my fun. I also ordered a rainbow cocktail and it tasted so good, that I certainly recommend that you try that out on your visit to Jacana Amazon Wellness Resort in Suriname. The Rainbow cocktail was a sweet and sour fruity mix. I do love that they have a swim-up bar available in the pool. You can also order your drinks and food from there. I hope you guys enjoy the video I made. Until next time, when the Story Time U.F.O. gets to zap you straight to a new adventure!
