The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Excellent Cuisine

During my stay, I dined at Beauregard's on the beach and absolutely loved it! The grilled mahi mahi and salad were excellent. I also enjoyed the complimentary breakfast each morning, which had a fantastic buffet along with made-to-order omelets and Eggs Benedict that were among the best I've ever had.

Very nice Ocean Views

I stayed in a Deluxe Ocean Front Room where I could relax on the private patio and watch the sunset. Falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the waves right outside my door was a truly magical experience!

Perfect Relaxation

I indulged in the spa services during my stay, opting for the Starfish Sampler, which included a body wrap, massage, and renewal facial. Each treatment was incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating, making my vacation even more special.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort that felt like a perfect anniversary getaway. The staff went above and beyond to make our trip special, from the warm welcome with rum punch to the lovely touches in our room.
