The first owners checked in and lolled about a series of pools overlooking the ocean. Locals tried out the new Tiki Bar that frames beach and ocean.

The unusual design of the resort dotted with extensive foliage and large trees that took months to install showcases the beach and ocean, with all venues within the resort including a spectacular lobby, towel kiosk, food store Jacuzzi and having a full frontal view of the beach and ocean.
