Take one of the 1-or 2-bedroom suites for example. They are filled with all the comforts of home. This is to ensure the transition from home mode to vacation mode is the easiest part of your trip. These suites accommodate 4 to 6 guests comfortably. The bed is dressed in linens that are cleaned after each inhabitant. To ensure optimal cleanliness and safety, rooms are checked frequently to make sure they are up to standard.
They have full kitchens and baths, master bedrooms, and separate living and dining areas. In the kitchen, you can enjoy the comfort of a blender, coffee maker, dishwasher, oven, refrigerator and so much more! This gives you the option to enjoy a home-cooked meal in the comfort of your suite. Have the kids try and make dinner and see what they cook up. Maybe even assign every person one job and make it a memory you will talk about for years to come.
The windows in the suite give you a view of the gorgeous ocean. From them, you can see the picturesque palm trees, sea oats, and hibiscus trees to lend a tropical flavor to this island hideaway. Every morning you can walk to the beach and see all of the shells that have washed up on shore. Each morning will bring new shells in different shapes and sizes.
If the ocean isn’t your thing, spend the day at the outdoor pool. Splash around and have some fun. There are seats to lounge around in and soak up some of that glorious sun. For added comfort, this pool is heated. There is also a hot tub to relieve you of your stress. Just imagine the state of bliss you will be in once you dip your body into the heated waters of the hot tub. Close your eyes and allow the heat to relax every inch of your body.
