- Anchor Bar & Lounge: Craft cocktails and mocktails make for an inspired wind‑down after your calls. Need something quick? The Grab & Go counter serves specialty coffees, pastries, and light bites—perfect for powering a brief work sprint.
Whitelime: Coffee, Pastries, and Morning Momentum
At Whitelime, fresh coffee meets homemade crêpes and baked pastries in an open‑air setting—an energizing backdrop to sync up calendars or polish a presentation.
Poolside and Vista Bar: Sunshine and Sync‑Ups
With public Wi‑Fi available and the ocean right there, the poolside area is an uplifting place to stream, share travel photos, or catch a short call. Vista Bar adds light bites and craft cocktails when it’s time to shift from work to unwind.
Outdoor Courtyard: Fresh Air, Fresh Ideas
The landscaped courtyard offers a tranquil, open‑air ambiance—great for a reflective writing session, reading, or a brainstorming chat with teammates.
Business Center and Meeting Spaces: Ready for Groups
When your agenda turns to group collaboration, the on‑site business center and sectionable ballroom with additional meeting rooms support conferences, seminars, and retreats. Entrances to the business center, fitness center, spa, restaurants, meeting spaces, and pool feature accessible routes, making it easier for everyone to participate.
Seamless Handoffs: Switching Between Guest‑Room and Public‑Area Wi‑Fi
Staying online is simple when you move between your room and shared spaces.
- Use the in‑room network when you’re in your room. If you booked direct as a Marriott Bonvoy member, your in‑room internet is complimentary.
- Switch to the public‑area network in shared spaces. As you head to the lobby, lounges, or poolside, select the public network from your device’s Wi‑Fi menu.
- Let your device remember both. Most devices automatically reconnect to the strongest known network as you move around the property.
- If performance dips, reconnect. A quick “forget network” and rejoin can refresh your session when you change locations.
Tip: You can join Marriott Bonvoy for free during booking to unlock complimentary in‑room internet access for direct bookings.
Video Calls That Impress: Setup Tips
High‑speed public‑area connectivity sets you up for success. These simple steps help your calls look and sound their best:
- Pick a steady backdrop. A neutral wall or calm lounge setting keeps attention on your message.
- Use headphones or earphones. They reduce background noise and help you hear clearly in shared spaces.
- Test your setup. Do a quick camera and mic check before joining; adjust your framing and lighting.
- Mind your mute. Mute when you’re not speaking to keep the audio crisp.
- Keep a power plan. Bring a compact charger so you can extend longer sessions without interruption.
Streaming, Sharing, and Multi‑Device Use
With 500+ Mbps connectivity in public areas—suitable for more than six users or ten devices simultaneously—you can:
- Share large photo and video files quickly with family and friends.
- Stream entertainment without waiting for buffering.
- Sync cloud backups in the background while you answer messages.
- Collaborate in real time on documents during team huddles in the lounge.
Families can spread out comfortably in shared spaces while everyone stays connected on their own device.
Security and Privacy on Shared Networks
Public networks are perfect for productivity and entertainment, and a few commonsense steps help keep your data safer:
- Use secure connections. Look for HTTPS in your browser when signing in to sites.
- Consider a VPN. A reputable VPN can add a layer of encryption on shared networks.
- Keep devices updated. Install the latest OS and app updates before you travel.
- Limit sensitive tasks. Save banking or confidential work for private, secured contexts when possible.
- Log out and forget networks. When you’re done, sign out of sites and choose “Forget This Network” on shared devices.
Accessibility for Connected Experiences
Accessible routes lead from the main entrance to key areas, including on‑site restaurants, meeting spaces, the pool, spa, fitness center, and business center. Van‑accessible on‑site parking, elevators, and accessible guest room features—such as roll‑in or transfer showers, accessible vanities, and adjustable hand‑held shower wands—help make connected experiences more inclusive for all guests.
