The busy main pool and the quieter secondary and tertiary pools all successfully create the illusion that the pool melts into the ocean, and they feature shimmering iridescent mosaic tiling. While the beach is the star attraction here, the resort's pools give lovely alternatives. Beach wait service is provided, and there’s a beach volleyball court and games like bocce and horseshoes.

It’s quieter and much less crowded than northern beaches, with few pesky hawkers. Lined with big, cushioned lounge chairs and umbrellas, it’s a stunning place to relax, and guest say it’s usually easy to snag a beachside lounger. The highlight of Sun Palace property is the dazzling, wide, and relatively peaceful stretch of white-sand beach that hits bright turquoise waters. The One-Bedroom Presidential Suite features roomy living and dining areas plus a big balcony with an outdoor whirlpool tub.

Higher-category rooms have the best views, more space, and upgraded amenities and freebies, like Apple TV with iTunes and Netflix. Most rooms have ocean views, though entry-level Deluxe Rooms do not. Other in-room perks include free bottles of wine, coffeemakers (or espresso machines in upgraded rooms), minibars stocked with free sodas and beer, free snacks like chips and chocolates, and liquor dispensers. Bathroom amenities are equally posh and include robes, slippers, individual CHI toiletries, and CHI-brand hairdryers and flat-irons. Behind frosted-glass doors are toilet vestibules and roomy walk-in showers with stone tiling, recessed soap shelves, and bench seating.Īmenities are well rounded and upscale, including individually controlled air-conditioning, daily turndown service, 24-hour room service, free Wi-Fi, Smart TVs with satellite channels, digital laptop safes, irons and ironing boards, and free long-distance calls to the continental U.S. Big, whirlpool tubs are in-room and dual basin sinks may also be in-room. Rooms have tiled floors with inset-stone accents, nice hardwood furnishings, contemporary wall art, brown wicker chairs, and partly canopied beds. Decor is simple but contemporary in a palette of creams and browns. The spacious double-occupancy guest rooms feature private furnished balconies and big whirlpool tubs, and the majority have ocean views.
