Amenity highlights: Two pools provide alternatives to the beach. The 80-by-40-foot main pool lies in a courtyard flanked by palm trees. Underwater swimmers look through windows into the hotel's famed Wreck Bar and vice versa. The 50-by-25-foot beach pool is surrounded by a stone sundeck, which is fronted by a second, wood sundeck. From the wood deck, guests step directly onto a beach that runs 11 miles along the barrier island on which the hotel lies. The beach is exceptionally deep in front of the hotel and includes a volleyball section. Lounge chairs, green umbrellas, and green, tentlike cabanas provide beach comfort.
