Fronting one wing of the U-shaped hotel is a 23-meter-long (25-yard) irregularly shaped activity pool with a 16-person jetted section, shallow-water tile lounges, a swim-up bar, and an infinity edge. A 12-person spa tub sheltered by a cupola fronts the other wing and in between, a formal fountain garden contains a geometric, infinity-edge "quiet pool" measuring roughly 23 by 23 meters (25 by 25 yards) that contains bronze statues and is flanked by two-person lounging beds and padded lounge chairs. A 2.5-meter-diameter (8-ft) toddlers' pool lies secluded next to a playground.

Lapped by water that remains calm in most weather, the resort's beach frontage extends 200 meters (219 yards) along Cancún Island's north side, where it is protected from open-sea swells. The beachfront is divided into a crescent beach and a rocky section that includes an area for safe water entry. The resort's entire waterfront has garden-fringed sunbathing terraces with padded lounge chairs and umbrellas.

The resort offers snorkeling gear, boogie boards, kayaks, windsurfers, and small sailboats. Introductory scuba-diving lessons are offered in the pool without charge, and beginner, refresher, and certification instruction and excursions (surcharges for all) are also available. Independent operators on the beach or on nearby beaches rent Jet Skis and offer parasailing and banana-boat rides. The resort includes two lighted tennis courts.
