The property will also become all-inclusive in 2027.

As part of the culinary enhancements, the resort rejuvenated several restaurants, including Marieta, which now offers an elevated Mediterranean‑fusion concept. Complementing these updates is the property’s main beachfront infinity pool, a place that becomes especially magical during whale‑watching season, when humpback whales can be spotted directly from the shoreline between December and March.
