Where to Stay (Room Selection & Renovations)

• Renovation Status: The Beachfront Villas (19) and Penthouse Residences undergo the most frequent cosmetic updates to maintain 5-star standards. Some Veranda Residences in the older phase near the North Entrance (2) are described by guests as slightly more “traditional” in decor but exceptionally well-maintained.
• Quiet & Sleep: For maximum silence, book units near the SPA Reception (15) or the Yoga Pavilion (17). These are shielded from the noise of the Beach Club Pool (12) and the bustling Marina traffic.
• Convenience: Families should prioritize buildings near the Kid’s Club (23) and Hacienda Cocina y Cantina (10) to minimize walking time for meals and activities.

Top Spots & Hidden Gems

• Guest Favorites: The Adult and Lap Pool (11) is the highest-rated spot for guests seeking to escape the music and crowds of Medano Beach. It offers a more “sanctuary” feel compared to the main pool.
• Secret Locations: The area around the Bell Tower (22) at sunset offers incredible photo opportunities without the crowds. Also, utilize the garden paths near the Fitness Pavilion (18) for a lush, shaded walk that feels like a private botanical garden.
• Dining Tips: At Hacienda Cocina y Cantina (10), the “Short Rib Guacamole” and “Chile Relleno” are high-frequency guest recommendations. For drinks, find a spot at Land’s End Bar (8) specifically for the “Hacienda Margarita” at dusk.

Practical Layout & Distances

• Marina Shortcuts: Use the South Entrance (1) or Marina Access (3) for the fastest walk to the luxury shopping and boat slips. It’s less than a 5-minute walk from the Grand Plaza (5).
• Terrain & Accessibility: The Resort Layout is relatively flat near the beach, but there are elevation changes as you move toward the back residences. Elevators (E) and Underground Parking Access (7) are crucial for those with strollers or mobility issues to avoid the sun and stairs.
• Beach Crowds: While the Private Beach area is roped off, Medano Beach is public and loud. To stay close to the action but retain privacy, book a Private Cabana (13) early in the morning.

Map FAQ

• Where are towels provided? Towel stations are located at both the Adult Pool (11) and the Beach Club Pool (12).

• Is there a grocery store nearby? While not on the Hotel Map, many guests use the North Entrance (2) for a quick walk to local convenience stores for villa supplies.
