Under the direction of interior designer Jane Dillon, all of the resort’s accommodations will undergo a significant refurbishment to brighten the ambiance and update amenities. New rooms will be light and airy, offering stylish decor - most complemented by amazing floor-to-ceiling water views. Guests will enjoy a clean, contemporary style reflective of the friendly and casual South Florida vibe with splashes of citrus accenting a soothing color neutral-sand color palette. Additional highlights include comfortable new furnishings, ocean-inspired artwork, softly patterned carpeting and crisp white linens - all coming together effortlessly to create a distinct sense of place.
