The resort features multiple dining options, including the all-wood Dining Room with linen service meals at waterside tables for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The cuisine is a blend of French and Pan Latin flavors. Guests can also while away the hours at poolside bars and open-air lounges.

Recreational options include outdoor pools and a fitness center with an Indonesian lounging bed.There are plenty of activities available if hammock-swinging grows tiring.

Tours are also offered to the Great White Heron Wildlife Refuge as well as day trips to Key West.
