Turtles

Every year our beaches host an amazing spectacle as hundreds of female sea turtles return to nest. The resort takes part in several initiatives to support this endangered species. We invite guests to join us in the release of baby turtles and participate in this incredible experience in nature and preservation.

4th OF JULY

We always throw a big fiesta on the 4th of July in honor of our northern neighbors! The celebration includes a cookout on the beach, tropical drinks and live music. After a fun-filled day under the sun, guests enjoy a beautiful fireworks display on the beach!

SEPTEMBER 16th

Join us as we raise our margaritas and shout Viva Mexico! Every year on September 16th, we celebrate Mexico’s independence from colonial rule with a beach party, live music, dancers and a special Mexican fiesta!
