Sunrise Strolls and Seashell Hunts

Wake up early (just this once!) and take a stroll along the shoreline while the sky turns dreamy shades of pink and gold. It’s peaceful and perfect for starting the day with a little calm. Kids love turning these quiet walks into treasure hunts for seashells and driftwood, a simple yet memorable way to bond with little ones.

Trust us, the ocean's just waiting to wow you.

The beachfront at Marival Emotions isn’t just a backdrop; it’s a vibrant playground where memories are made, one wave at a time.

Dive Into Poolside Fun

If you’re more of a poolside lounger than a beachcomber, or love switching between the two.

Poolside Bars and Relaxation Loungers

Adults, we didn’t forget about you. A summer afternoon isn't complete without a tropical drink in hand. Swing by La Palapa or Miramar for a cool cocktail (or mocktail!), from smoothies to margaritas, and park yourself on a comfy lounger or shaded daybed. Grab a book, sip something colorful, and enjoy the breeze. Want to sneak in a little sun nap? Don’t worry, we won’t tell.
