Pools, lake and facilities
The facilities are split between the two buildings, which face each other on opposite sides of Avenida Dr. Francisco Loup. The Beach Building holds the heated infinity-edge pool facing the ocean, the restaurant and beach service. The Lake Building holds the 150 m² heated lake, the SPA by Renata França, the Life Fitness gym, the rooftop and the sand court. Guests of both buildings use all of the hotel’s facilities.

150 m² (about 1,600 sq ft), with a bed of river sand, ornamental stones of more than five metric tons each and tropical planting. The water is treated by ozone and a natural saltwater system, without chlorine — the same treatment as the pool. From the Lake View Land accommodations, guests step into the water from their own veranda.
