Designed to blend into its beautiful setting, the hotel is surrounded by natural-looking landscaping and tall leafy trees. The vast lobby is flooded with sunlight and features a mostly beige color palette accented with striped seating, ornate screens, and colorful pottery. A small bar just off the lobby is a casual spot to relax and there are roomy outdoor patios with comfortable wicker seating and partial views of the beach. The property is starting to show some signs of wear and tear, including around the wooden pool decks. Most guests are couples or families with children, and the large outdoor pools (including one for kids) are spacious enough to accommodate everyone.
