Guests first arrived at the property by a scenic boat transfer to the resort’s new private dock. The resort welcomed visitors with a signature cocktail before retreating to their expansive suites. Shareholders, executives, media, and influencers alike basked in the breathtaking evening Caribbean views while enjoying live entertainment and fresh island fare at Riddles in the Sand, the destination’s main restaurant featuring dining on the deck or in the sand. 

Following an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the property the next morning, guests delighted in a toes-in-the-sand, beachside grand opening ceremony filled with partner remarks and a celebratory toast.

The day ended with restful afternoons in private cabanas, dinner at Sunbaked BBQ, and seaside bonfires.
