When you’re ready to have fun, your options are almost limitless. Head down to the beach for free access to snorkeling, windsurfing, kayaking, and pedal boats.

There are 2 tennis courts on the hotel’s property, as well as access to many nearby golf courses. Scuba enthusiasts can easily access coral reefs and marine wildlife right from the hotel’s beach.

Do you need some pampering on your tropical getaway? Enjoy a massage, facial, pedicure (or all of the above) at Renova Spa, just a few steps away from the resort.

What if you’re traveling with kids? You can book connecting or adjoining rooms to ensure Mom and Dad can enjoy some alone time too.
