Restaurant reno

Restaurants at Coconut Bay will be the focus of much of the scheduled renovations.

The resort’s Jerk Treehouse Restaurant, will expand the top-floor kitchen to meet demand for Caribbean favourites, from spicy grilled jerk, breadfruit and festival to homemade ginger beer and freshly squeezed sugarcane juice.

New kitchens will also be installed in two of the resort’s four à la carte specialty restaurants, the creole-inspired Calabash and Silk serving modern Asian cuisine.

They will both also debut new menus along with the alfresco Seaside and adults-only Veranda where the Fresh Catch of the Day signature dish will include locally caught, predatory Lionfish.

Coconut Walk, the resort’s main restaurant serving local, American and international cuisine at breakfast, lunch and dinner at eight independent stations, will get a facelift that includes a new lighting scheme, murals and tiled columns. A new state of the art oven will help the Coconut Bay’s bakers keep up with demand for their fresh baked bread, delicious croissants, Danish pastries and more.

The Stargazers Lounge, a beautiful evening spot for doing just that, will get a new tile floor and furniture including seating around the fire pit.

Family-friendly upgrades

The fourth floor of the family-friendly Splash wing will get new awnings providing shade to premium category rooms. The zero-entry Splash Pool, one of five pools at the resort, will be completely resurfaced inside and out. The thatch-covered Tiki Canopy will be expanded to the Splash Bar to meet guest demand for the perfect spot for relaxing in the shade. For those looking to take in some sun, the oceanfront deck behind the Activity Pool will be replaced to accommodate additional loungers and private parties.

Save a turtle

As part of its ongoing commitment to sea turtle conservation the resort will also be expanding its “Skip the Straw, Save a Turtle” initiative to the adults-only Harmony Pool Bar and the Splash Pool Swim-up Bar where straws will no longer be used reducing pollution on the beach and keeping the nesting turtles and hatchlings safe. The program previously rolled-out to guests at the Paradise Beach Bar where signage serves both to notify guests of the program and alert them to the resort’s longstanding turtle conservation program.

Other improvements will include a new roof for The Cove, the resort’s expansive outdoor dining and entertainment venue; new décor, paint and upgraded changing rooms at the 11,000 square foot oceanfront Kai Mer Spa; and in the Lobby a duty-free retail jewellery store will open in a prominent location next to the 24-hour Coffee and Tea Corner.
