There are 355 suites, from premium rooms up to luxury swim-up suites where the water starts at the terrace.
Four restaurants and four bars share the plan, and every meal is included at any hour. Frank and Lola's is the Italian trattoria, JWB Steakhouse is the steakhouse, LandShark Brewery and Grill is the brewery, and The Boathouse is the fourth. 5 O'Clock Somewhere is the poolside bar with a swim-up counter, License to Chill combines a wet-feet bar and beachside grill, Salted Rim and Joe Merchant's Coffee and Provisions covers the morning. Room service runs all day and night.
Live music is the soundtrack: pool parties with local bands and DJs, evening beach bonfires and daily performances from soloists to full bands. Three pools, a spa and two pickleball courts fill the days, and the resort runs a pickleball tournament and margarita blending and sampling.
It suits couples and groups of friends who want an adults-only beach week with live music and a brewery on the sand.
