Guest Services
The hotel provides high-speed Wi-Fi throughout, cable TV hookups, and metered electricity. Staff offer restaurant recommendations including the onsite Blue Wave Bar & Grill. The property accommodates events for up to 200 guests in its waterfront meeting spaces.
“What struck me most is the hotel's surprisingly peaceful tropical island setting, ideal for families, along with the variety of suites that feel like mini-apartments; the multiple outdoor pools and bayside paths create a resort atmosphere. With its proximity to the airport and diverse venue space, it's a practical choice, but ultimately, it's the strong management and focus on guest satisfaction that I believe sets it apart.”
