How to Secure and Settle Into Your Free Cabana

Yes—cabanas on our private beach are complimentary for resort guests. Here’s a simple approach to getting settled fast:

1. Head to the beach after breakfast. Morning light and calmer seas make this a sweet spot to choose your setup and ease into the day.
2. Pick your base. Choose between beachfront cabanas for toe‑in‑the‑sand lounging or poolside cabanas for quick dips between chapters of your book.
3. Ask our team for a hand. If you’d like help positioning loungers, umbrellas, or getting extra towels, our staff is happy to assist.
4. Stage your essentials. Keep sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and snorkeling gear within reach so you can go from shade to sea in seconds.

Pro move: Alternate between the private beach and the 50‑meter Olympic‑sized pool to keep the day fresh and fun.
