At the Table
Company while you eat
Dolphins and turtles pass by, sometimes mid-meal.
Our dining pavilion looks straight out over the Wasini Channel — the same water turtles and dolphins pass through most mornings. It's not unusual to spot them from your table. A beautiful, quiet way to spend a meal.
