Your culinary journey ranges from casual beachside bites to refined evening meals. Start your morning with a full buffet breakfast at Laguna, overlooking the tranquil koi ponds. For dinner, the award-winning Sunset Grille serves prime steaks and fresh seafood with views of the Caribbean horizon. If you prefer a more relaxed vibe, Gilligan’s Seafood Shack offers a chance to dine just steps from the refreshing sea breeze, while the Mira Solo lobby bar is the place to be for open-air cocktails as the sun dips below the water. The hotel offers Room Only, Bed and Breakfast, and Half Board meal plans.
Pools and Spa
You can choose between two large, zero-entry freshwater pools that meander through the tropical grounds, surrounded by comfortable loungers and swaying palms. If you are looking for total rejuvenation, the eforea™ spa provides a range of treatments inspired by local ingredients. Please note that the use of the spa centre, including massages, beauty treatments, and the sauna, is subject to an additional charge.
Beach
The hotel is situated directly on the white sands of Palm Beach. You’ll have access to a dedicated area of the beach where sun loungers and towels are provided free of charge for hotel guests. One of the unique features here is the Palapa reservation system, allowing you to secure your own private shade under a traditional thatched umbrella. The calm, turquoise water is ideal for a morning swim or a sunset stroll along the shore.
Sport and Entertainment
There is never a dull moment with a variety of daily activities ranging from pool aerobics to beach volleyball. You can visit the resident tropical birds at the Shoco Market or try your luck at the on-site casino, which features a wide array of table games and slot machines. As evening falls, the resort comes alive with live music at the bars, creating a chic setting for tranquil relaxation or socialising with new friends.
Family Amenities
Families are warmly welcomed with plenty of features to keep everyone entertained. Kids will love the dedicated Shoco Land kids' club, where they can take part in supervised crafts and games. There is also a shallow area in the pool for younger swimmers and a shaded playground. The exotic bird sanctuary on-site is a huge hit with children, who can watch the colourful macaws and parrots during daily interaction sessions.
