Hi David, I am very new at this so not sure if I am much help. I think having the pop-up enlargements only along the top and down the side make it easier to read the info now. I have a question/comment though, when I hover over the copy the word 'background' pops up in a little cream box not sure why.
I like the big photo in the middle with the text and photos surrounding it.

Hi David,
I looked at your site, and I like the snaps but is there a way to delay how quick they came up, maybe that would help to not make it so hectic to try and read. You might have to put a note on the page to explain that they can hover for snaps. also on your 2nd bedroom page, you are getting a couple of the pics not found errors on the bottom pics and the top right when clicked comes up pixelated. Looks great to me. Looks like a great place to vacation.

I don't get to play as much as I would like, so my game is unchanging......

Your 2nd bedroom page looks good, it may be my puter but when I go to the far right pic and hit the back button it gives me what looks like a 2nd page offset down below the original header. Can you follow that or is it clear as mud.

I'm in FF. I clicked on the bathroom pic, and at the top of that pic there is the word back and when I mouse over it brings up the snap view, but when I click on the word back I get another header below the first one and the rest of the page below.

Looks like a gorgeous spot David.

I don't mind the snapshot popups, although they probably detract if you're going for a 'classy' look.
(the small snapshots on the righthand side weren't working when I looked just now.)

I think it would look lovely if your large photo in the centre cycled through all your best photos - all in the same large size - 'cos it's all about the photos in getting people to imagine themselves at the resort.

That last one was a good suggestion.......will play around and see what I can develope.........much appreciated.

Hey David,
they all look much better, and all the links worked for me in FF. Nice work!!

Changed the home page http://mvpalma1.net
to include cycling of all the thumbnails to larger pics..................

I really like the large photographs all coming up in that centre spot David. The rear view photo in the bottom right corner comes up very fuzzy though.
The 'background' word comes up again, with the new writing alongside of the thumbnails.
This is personal taste, but I would change the lovely colour on your scroll bar to match one of the blues on your site. At the moment I find it a little too purple (or you could add the colour to the site somewhere). Perhaps the blue in the deckchairs. Before you change it though I would love to know the colour code.
The other comment I have is also my own taste. What if you changed the green writing in the main part of the page to match the orange or even the fine blue border. Or maybe both by changing the black descriptions of the photos as well. Just a thought. I don't mind the green in the bottom but I find it distracts from the wonderful photograph in the centre of the main part of the page.
