European-style stone pavers at the entrance, leading to a dramatic rod iron pavilion enveloped by a soothing water fountain. A handsome custom patina rod iron design in the archways creates a dramatic look with views of the bay. A stately "cupola," is a crowning touch to the Presidential Suite exterior. Understated elegance is predominant throughout the resort's lobby. Soft classical columns and cool stone floors in cream and gold tones invite guests to relax in real style, amid cozy alcoves with natural rattan lounge chairs adorned with plush upholstered cushions. Guestrooms evoke a true tropical hideaway; blending natural wood finishes with rattan lounge chairs in a sitting area. Tropical patterned drapes complement crisp plantation shutters that lead guest to a spacious patio with chaises that look onto a courtyard and pool. Baths are appointed with dual sinks featuring granite countertops, marble baths and flooring and picture window sized beveled glass mirrors. Sumptuous duvets filled with down and oversized pillow shams, fashioned in a color palette of soft creams, gold and honey toned fabrics, lure travelers to sleep.
