Wellness & Family Facilities

The on-site spa offers a full menu of treatments, including massages, facials, and body scrubs, with a dedicated spa lounge and fitness center. Families can use the Kids' Club, children's playground, and babysitting services, along with three outdoor pools-two of which are infinity pools with ocean views. A personal trainer and yoga classes are also available for adults seeking guided exercise.

Unique Experiences & Entertainment

The hotel is located just south of the Equator, so each guest receives a personalized Equator Crossing Certificate upon arrival-a memorable keepsake.
