Each suite provides outdoor space, giving guests a private area to relax after a day near the water.

Dining

The resort operates 7 restaurants and multiple bars across the property, with an award-winning Gourmet Inclusive service that elevates the standard all-inclusive meal. The Latin restaurant and Asian Infusion restaurant receive frequent praise in guest reviews for food quality and attentive staff. A pizza shop and a taco house (both mentioned in guest reviews as standout options) offer casual meals throughout the day.

Pools and Recreation

Six outdoor swimming pools are available, including a lazy river and a water park for children. The property also has a full tennis court, a billiards room, and a golf course for guests who want active recreation. Daily entertainment includes live music, themed dinner nights, and a foam pool party that takes place weekly.

Family Offerings

A comprehensive kids' club and multiple playgrounds keep children occupied while adults explore the spa or pools. Babysitting services are available through the hotel for parents who want an evening to themselves. The property also has an indoor play area and a game room with board games and puzzles.
