Information & Amenities
Opened in 2001, the hotel comprises a restored village that was used by tuna fishers from 1881 until the tuna stopped arriving in 1972. Grounds include a museum displaying a scale model of the elaborate net system fishers used, boat and ship models, typical fishers' dress, and a video of tuna-fishing activity. The grounds also include the village's chapel, a tranquil retreat featuring a wood ceiling, delicate wrought-iron chandeliers, a stained glass window, and a lower wall clad in blue-and-white tiles.
In addition to complimentary use of an indoor pool and spa tub, guests can use a health club's steam room and fitness room, which is equipped with weight machines and cardio machines, for a daily surcharge. The health club also contains a massage room.
Complimentary children's activities are offered in summer both in the former village's schoolhouse and outdoors. A lobby computer provides a high-speed Internet connection (surcharge).
