Inside the 537 suites, the new furniture stands out, more modern and comfortable; as well as a timeless, elegant and colonial decoration, in keeping with the architecture of the rest of the resort. In addition, the use of light colors combined with brown, black and green predominates; elements in marble and solid wood; as well as natural textures and fabrics, among which the braided fabric panel placed behind the headboard of the bed stands out. As for the bathrooms, they all have a hydromassage bathtub and shower, and all the taps, accessories, and amenities are also new. Likewise, some of the rooms have open bathrooms in which the bathtub itself becomes the main protagonist of the room.
Energy efficiency and technology have also played an important role. All rooms have energy saving systems with sensors for light and air conditioning and the swim-up pools are heated through an efficient system that uses heat pumps.
