Resort Description
An all suite resort offers updated and spacious accommodations in 30 three-story villas, with 24 junior suites in each, through acres of natural gardens. The pool is a lagoon size, like an oasis with little Islands of flourishing palms within the pool and an inner Jacuzzi. A long white beach enshrouded with coconut trees and sunshelters of thatched palapas, is beautifully facing the Caribbean sea. Brightly colored sails of windsurfers and catamarans can be seen against a cloudless sky. A heavenly location for relaxation or water-sports activity.
A nine hole golf course is adjacent, as part of the resort, for the casual game. It is anticipated that this course will evolve into a 27 hole course by year 2005.
