The Gardens
A stunning touch to the property is the 20 acres of gardens that complement 15 acres of beachfront property. In collaboration with the Ogier-Fombrun Museum, there is a variety of artistically manicured flora including native Caribbean species like coconut, palm, date and an assortment of tropical flowers.

The private island, Zile Soley, is the ideal area to have your wedding ceremony. It is more secluded as it is away from the hotel building, so it will be less noisy for your wedding. Therefore, you might want to think about using the Zile Soley for your wedding reception and ceremony.
