The Resort is located alongside Marigot Bay, once described by the legendary American author James Albert Michener as “the most beautiful in the Caribbean.” Currently the resort features 122 rooms, including fifty-seven suites with spacious balconies and extensive views of the bay. Guests can enjoy the many amenities offered at the resort, including a variety of dining options or an afternoon of pampering at the resort's Lapli Spa.
The property is also home to the ultra-exclusive Capella Marina at Marigot Bay which accommodates some of the most luxurious mega yachts in the world.
