The Lobby Bar

Sip on an Aloe Spitz and snack on the seared tuna tataki at The Lobby Bar.
The Lobby Bar boasts a large menu of Japanese dishes from seared tuna tataki to fresh nigiri and maki. If you're a fan of an Aperol Spritz, try the eatery's refreshing Aloe Spritz after returning from a long day of basking in the sun.
The Rooms

After a day of travel and fun, lay your head down in one of the hotel's newly renovated rooms. The space has a modern aesthetic with lots of natural light. When you wake up from a night of amazing sleep, sip your coffee out on your balcony as you gaze at the ocean.
The bathroom is a highlight, with the shower's dial being on the opposite end of the showerhead, in case you don't want to get your hair wet with a quick shower. They also include double vanities with marble countertops, back-lit mirrors, lightwood accents and open shelving, blending a luxe aesthetic with practicality.
The Pool

As you walk past the check-in desk in the lobby, you pass through the doors into the first pool, where adults and their children can enjoy their vacation together.
Grab a cocktail from the swim-up bar as you gaze at the ocean from the water and mingle with the other guests.
