Tourists get acquainted by dressing up in their bed sheets. they can stimulated exhausted. During the worst of the winter I made my first visit to Nassau and my first contact with one of the non-stop party holidays. But before I tell you about Zemi’s, I must discuss my first discovery. Nassau isn’t an island at all â€" it’s a town. A port on the island of New Providence. It’s first tourist must have been Christopher Columbus, who visited the Bahamas 481 years ago â€" and its most prestigious, the late Duke of Windsor, who was the island’s first Governor after his abdication. It isn’t until you see this warm and blossoming island that you realize what an appalling step down it must have been for His Royal Highness to relinquish being the titular head of an empire to occupy the chair of governor of a chain of tiny islands. 5 Although Nassau whs thoroughly British until its independence in 1973, it seems American in many ways. One of these ways is the package holiday where you can be happily and exhaustively entertained, dined and wined at an allâ€" inclusive price. Zemi‘s, which says it is the non-stop party in the Bahamas, claims to offer visitors an uninhibited alternative to the or- dinary vacation. By AILEEN ADAMS The hotel, formerly the Blue Vista Hotel, has been completely refur- bished and is spanking clean. The property is small and there is no beach. Two pools â€"â€" one fresh water, the other salt â€"â€" substitute for this lack and there are periodic boat trips to an uninhabited island just offshore. The food â€" and there are four meals a day â€" is much above the standard of resort hotel fare. In fact, the meals are superb, and served with wine. When you arrive, you purchase a string of apples with which you buy such extras as cigarettes, drinks at the bar (nonâ€"alcoholic drinks are expensive) and in- cidental shopping.

Your days can be so crammed there is no need to leave the resort. There is tennis, volleyball, a games room, beautiful island girls to play backgammon or chess with you. Each morning you can exercise to Caribbean rhythms. And there‘s a party where you are expected (almost com- manded) to strip your bed to its sheets and dress up in them.

She was given the option of con- verting to a pub or a hotel, which in her estimation was really no choice at all. with “I didn’t like the thought of becoming known as the proprietor of a roadhouse so I opened up rooms for guests." Since that time, hun- dreds of diners and overnight guests have savored the wisdom of that decision. For Mrs. Allen’s Ballymalloe House, 25 miles southeast of Cork, near the village of Shanagarry, is probably the state of the art in Irish gentility. From the time one rolls up a long meandering drive, stopping for an errant sheep or two, until one has been effortlessly checked into the White Room (no numbers at Ballymalloe House) the expectation is set: this will be a sojourn with a difference.

True is unbridled in his praise of the Allen establishment, landing the grace of the home, part of which dates back to the 15th century. But he saves his superlatives for Myrtle Allen’s cooking. True lived up to his name. The next two days offered up hot buttered lobster, dressed crab, all supported by a host of fresh vegetables supplied by the fields of the 400- acre Allen farm. it’s too good for me,” he sighs, messaging an ample midriff.
