Rooms & Beach Life

Chic deck pools and private access to the cartoonishly blue waters of Doctor’s Cave Beach make this paradise for swimmers and water lovers. Ocean view rooms are spacious with simple black and white palettes, and the wicker-covered bathtub and rich wood floors featured in the two-floor Presidential Suite are far from shabby.
