Dining runs through a single kitchen: Maíz Azul, the on-site restaurant, with the Casa Bakal Bar and Lounge alongside it for drinks. Breakfast is included and served as a buffet from 8 to 11 am, which covers the morning before a day on the water. With one restaurant and one bar, the dining scene is compact and centered on the property rather than on a choice of venues.
Recreation centers on the water. The property has direct lagoon access with a pier and swimming area, and kayaks and paddleboards are complimentary. Sailboat tours are also available. On land, facilities include one pool and the Akwa Wellness spa for treatments. The mix suits active mornings on the lagoon and slower afternoons at the pool or spa.
