We offer  an all-you-can-eat brunch on Sundays that you could add on and enjoy as an weekend finale before you embark on your journey back home. Plus, take advantage of the wonders of our beach. Start your day with a beautiful beach sunrises, surrounded by the sounds of splashing waves and singing birds, peaceful beach walks and of course don’t forget to end your day watching the sunset.
