Blackout drapes and air conditioning help everyone sleep comfortably. It suits two couples or a family with children.

You can do either. The villa has a full kitchen with a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, stovetop, oven, microwave and dishwasher.

If you would rather go out, the resort has 21 Main steakhouse, the Seaside Café and a poolside bar and grill.
