Completely renovated and reopened in July 2003, the hotel manifests its tranquil, adults-only (age 18 or older) ambience with an atrium lobby featuring soft-orange coloring, carved woods, fountains, and a waterfall. Guests register while seated in a lobby lounge sipping a chilled welcome drink. The hotel contains a 38-meter, (125-ft), hourglass-shaped swimming pool terraced above a long, 18.25-meter-deep (60-ft) flat beach furnished with lounge chairs and 45 thatched-roof palapas.

Guests enjoy access to all facilities, including bars and restaurants, at a partner resort, the Great Parnassus Resort & Spa, 4 km (2.5 mi) away.
