For an extra dose of pampering, you can purchase a treatment from the resort’s full-service spa.
You can also stroll through tropical botanical gardens blooming with more than 700 plant species, see winged wonders at the butterfly and hummingbird gardens, spot reptiles at the caiman and turtle lagoons, or visit the resort’s resident miniature horses and donkeys. Around 4 pm, collect your belongings and relax on the return drive to your hotel.
