Where to find your hammock groove on the resort grounds

Hammocks are available to guests on property as part of the resort’s amenities. As you explore the oceanfront grounds, keep an eye out for restful pockets that complement your ideal vibe:

• Near the private beach: Pair hammock time with soft surf sounds and quick access to towels and umbrellas.
• By garden and outdoor terrace areas: Enjoy greenery, filtered light, and a sense of seclusion.
• Close to activity hubs (or purposefully away from them): If you like a social backdrop, settle where you can easily pop over to the pools or tiki bar. Prefer quiet? Choose a spot that’s removed from the busiest footpaths.

Pro tip: Think about the breeze and sun angle. If you love a light wind, choose an area with open exposure; if you prefer shade, gravitate toward spaces buffered by landscaping or make use of umbrellas at the beach between hammock sessions.

Best times to sway the day away

Timing transforms a good nap into a perfect one. Here’s a quick, skimmable guide to help you match the moment to your mood.

Practical hammock tips for effortless rest

Small comforts make a big difference. Use these on-property perks and simple techniques to elevate your hammock hideaway.

• Claim comfort: Pool and beach towels, chaise lounge covers, and umbrellas are provided. Layer a towel in your hammock for a soft, cooler surface.
• Hydrate easily: Top up at the complimentary water-bottle filling station. A cool sip helps stave off grogginess after a nap.
• Travel light: Store passports, jewelry, and extras in your en suite safety deposit box before you head out.
• Sun-smart snoozing: Reapply sunscreen, use a hat or eye mask, and alternate shade and sun to avoid overexposure.
• Set a gentle timer: A soft chime keeps you from sleeping past golden hour—or your dinner reservation.
• Soundscape your nap: If you like ambient audio, play ocean sounds quietly or enjoy the natural rhythm of the waves.
• Choose your backdrop: For a lively ambience, nap within an easy stroll of the pools or tiki bar. For tranquility, pick a more tucked-away corner of the grounds.
• Upgrade shade or privacy: For dedicated downtime, consider a private cabana rental (fees apply) between hammock sessions.

Nap-and-snack pairings to try

Refuel seamlessly before or after your hammock break.

• Havana Jack’s Oceanside Restaurant and Bar: Florida Keys–style cuisine with indoor and outdoor dining, open for lunch and dinner.
• Oceanfront tiki bar: A relaxed option for beach-friendly sips with a view.
• Coffee shop and liquor store on property: Convenient for a morning espresso, afternoon iced tea, or sunset provisions.

These options keep you close to your hammock hideaway so your rest—and your appetite—stay effortlessly in sync.
