Lounge by the pool or relax on an array of decks, balconies, and porches; schedule an in-room spa treatment; or kick up your heels with a variety of self-directed or supervised activities, including stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, or bicycling. There's a full-service bar as well and regularly scheduled live music.
