With homemade bubblegum ice cream and a beach club vibe, expect a whimsical time on these paradise shores.
There’s a playful feeling here, where beach parasols look like lollipops, and novelty swans wait to take you afloat on the powder blue water. Guests glide past on bikes, and there’s a sound of reggae in the distance – probably from the Lagoon Bar.
