72 rooms and suites, all with staggering beachfront views, are spread out along the Surf Beach and up the bluff. There are two restaurants: the open-walled Tamarind Restaurant serving breakfast and candle-lit dinners, and The Sea Grape restaurant where barefoot casual lunches and romantic dinners are enjoyed one step from the sand and a few feet from the water’s edge.

The resort’s exceptional facilities include a championship tennis center, fully equipped water-sports center (PADI Dive Center, scuba, windsurfing, paddle-boarding, water-skiing, Hobie Cats and kayaks), a squash court and gym. When it’s time to relax, there’s a tranquil spa, a beach-side swimming pool, beach bar, day beds, swings and hammocks swaying in the shade of coconut palms.
