  • La Cantina is a Baja-inspired poolside restaurant serving lunch, dinner, frozen cocktails and beers (hours weather-dependent).
  • Cays Lounge offers small plates and cocktails with skyline/Coronado Bay views; Silver Strand Exchange covers coffee and grab-and-go needs.

  • Poolside cabanas are available for reserve for a surcharge; Poolside Concierge offers chilled fruit, towels, and smoothies.
