Contemporary boutique beachfront resort-and-residences with a sleeker, more polished feel and a quieter upscale beach-club style atmosphere.

  • Casual options such as Bon Vivants, Twisted Lime, and Spritz within the Sandyport setting

  • Better for quiet sun days and a more refined beachfront feel

If you want slides, lagoon pools, and a more playful all-ages setup, choose Sandyport; if you want a calmer boutique beachfront mood, choose Goldwynn.

Kids & Family: All-Ages Resort Ease vs Grown-Up Boutique Feel
