"Here, guests will be transported to an upscale coastal retreat where every room offers a view due to its crescent moon shape."

Accommodation options include the King Paradise Suites, which features a generous amount of outdoor space; the oceanfront Beachfront Honeymoon Suites, with wrap-around terraces; and the Oceanfront Paradise Swim-Up Studio, which proffers up spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea and a terrace with an infinity pool.
