Weekend buffet-style breakfasts are served. A spa tub and fitness center overlook the heated, outdoor, saltwater pool, all of which are surrounded by a stone-paved, palm-lined courtyard. More than 2,600 square feet of function space overlooks and opens out onto the courtyard.

Beds are dressed with 300-thread count sheets and down duvets. Guestrooms include coffeemakers. In-room safes are complimentary. High-speed wired and wireless Internet access is complimentary.
