Step outside and you'll discover a lush, shared tropical oasis. The large pool is a true highlight—ideal for floating the day away or cooling off after a beach adventure. Heated during the slightly cooler season and chilled during the summer. Lounge poolside in the sun or relax in the shade with your favorite book.
