You may never want to leave your room! The living and kitchen pavilions are all within a short walk from the bedroom pavilions, not too close, not too far – just right. They offer plenty of space for all members of the group to relax together, whether enjoying a meal boasting fresh, local cuisine or watching one of the provided movies. All under sky-high ceilings that let in the natural sea breeze. There is also an outdoor dining table, overlooking the pool and the ocean where most meals are likely to be enjoyed.
