Travel tips

If you plan to spend time on the sand, confirm how the beach-towel inclusion works through the resort fee and pick towels up before heading out, since the beach is about a block away.

If you’re flying, ask about scheduling and pickup details for the free airport shuttle ahead of arrival.
