In the Cabana building's courtyard, the pool patio is filled with fragrant flowers, potted palm trees; smooth jazz plays softly. Guests lounge on beach chairs and around umbrella-shaded tables; heat lamps warm the area on chilly evenings. The large pool, christened "Aqua Star" by celebrity swimmer Esther Williams in 1955, is suitable for lap swimming.
The 24-hour Precor fitness center allows guests to customize their workouts according to level of expertise. Headphones offer a variety of music as well as CD/DVD/MP3 compatibility.
Massage and body treatments are available by the pool or in guestrooms (surcharge)
