Overview
 Designed
for families, the 30-acre
resort with its half-mile
beachfront is large enough
to be lively in some areas
and tranquil in others,
pleasing both children
and adults. Adults also
enjoy a restaurant reserved
for them. A reminder of
the resort's former life
as a sugar plantation
remains in the form of
a stone tower.
The resort's half-mile
beach has coral-reef sections
for snorkeling. Freshwater
swimming is available
in 10 free-form pools
ranging from 40 to 150
feet long, including one
for children, scattered
among lodging buildings.
Two spa tubs offer soaking
fun. The All Inclusive
Plan includes sailing,
snorkeling, windsurfing,
kayaking, water skiing,
banana boating, tennis,
squash, and golf on a
9-hole, par-3 course.
Also as part of the All
Inclusive Plan, the resort
provides complimentary
shuttle service all day
for guests age 16 and
older to a partner resort
on the West Coast, the
adults-only Almond Beach
Club & Spa All Inclusive,
where they may dine at
restaurants and enjoy
all facilities.
