The weather was spectacular while we were there, and we had a romantic and relaxing time at the resort.  Before I get specific, let me say right off that I would highly recommend this resort to others.

To begin – THE BEACHES!  I am a beach person and the Mana Island Resort is connected with 3 different beaches – North Beach, South Beach, and Sunset Beach.  All of them are stunning and they all offer swimming, snorkeling, and amazing walks and views.  Because of the way the beaches are situated on the island, if it is too windy at one, you can simply go to another. Water shoes are not a bad idea, though, as there are a lot of coral reefs around and they will protect your feet and let your enjoy the beauty of the coral.  Definitely bring an underwater camera!  The variations between sand and rocky spots and incredible water make this resort the perfect beach spot.

I had read some spotty food reviews about the resort, and I am a very picky eater, so I will admit I was a little concerned.  There was no need!  Honestly, the food was amazing. There was a buffet restaurant and an a la carte restaurant that we enjoyed, but we found that reservations were a good idea.  My husband also had planned ahead and ordered the meal package ahead of time, which was a really good idea for us because it did save us quite a bit of money.  Drinks are always separate but the prices were not outrageous so it was not a problem.  I also had read that some people had gotten ill, and that was not the case at all for us.  Like I said before, I am a picky eater, mostly because I have some food allergies and sensitivities, and I had no problems eating very well at the Mana Island Resort.

For example, we run Windows computers running various browsers – Firefox, IE, Safari and Google Chrome. It’s much easier to test an entire website using the installed browser as opposed to the screenshot websites listed below, however there are times when you are unable to install multiple versions of browsers (for example Internet Explore 6 and Internet Explorer 8 cannot run on the same machine), so this is where the following sites do come in handy!

Browser Shots
www.browsershots.org

Supports: Linux, BSD, Windows and Mac OS Browsers.

Browsershots makes screenshots of your web design in different browsers. It is a free open-source online service created by Johann C. Rocholl. When you submit your web address, it will be added to the job queue. A number of distributed computers will open your website in their browser. Then they will make screenshots and upload them to the central server here.

Net Renderer
www.ipinfo.info/netrenderer

Supports: IE 5.5 – IE8
Designed to easily check what your desired website looks like on a range of different Internet Explorer versions.

What are some cons of the above methods?
Screenshots are great, but one of the criticisms of screenshot based testing tools is that you can’t test functionality via a flat screenshot. You can test layout with screenshots, but what about cross browser and OS functionality of your Javascript or dynamic CSS elements? For that you need to actually interact with the page.

There are several paid methods, such as crossbrowsertesting.com, but we would recommend to dust one of your old PCs and install different versions of browsers to cut the costs down!

Vector graphics

These graphics usually provide better quality over the traditional lossy image formats, such as Bitmap and JPEG. This means that if you were to view a vector and bitmap image next to each other, as you zoomed in you’ll be able to see that the bitmap image will suffer from pixelation while the vector graphic’s quality will remain intact.
