|---|---|---|

| Rooms & Suites | Elegant rooms, suites, and beachfront villas with luxury touches like air conditioning, smart TVs, minibars, Wi-Fi, and COMO Shambhala toiletries. | Boutique-style accommodations suited to travelers who want a comfortable, low-key home base rather than a destination-resort villa experience. |

| Pools & Beach | White-sand private-island beach setting with two outdoor pools, including a family pool and an adults-only pool area. | Relaxed boutique pool scene with access to the Grace Bay beach area, best for travelers who plan to split time between the hotel and the island. |

| Price & Value | Best value for travelers who will use the private-island setting, wellness facilities, beach club, dining, and included activities. | Best value for travelers who want Grace Bay convenience and a boutique stay without paying for a secluded island-resort experience. |
