Guests are asked to contact the resort for recommendations. The resort also features an outdoor swimming pool. Guests can dine on the freshest seafood. The hotel's culinary director and staff seek out the individual desires of each guest, ensuring them a personalised dining experience that outshines the buffets or one-menu-suits-all approach found in many restaurants.
