- Start or end at The Crowned Monkey: craft cocktails make a great pre-dinner ritual or post-dinner wind-down.
- Book sunset timing for On the Dune: the beachfront setting is best experienced during golden hour.
- Reserve ahead for EsQuilina: this is the most sought-after fine dining experience on the property, especially during peak season.
