Seabreeze, the resort’s main restaurant, seats 100 guests and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. It offers a wide range of buffet-served choices that are sure to please guests of all ages. The lovely, open-air dining room is enhanced by light pine pergolas, ceiling fans and exposed beams and dark wood, with lofty vaulted ceilings for an airy, outdoor feeling.

Lounges & Bars
