Does the idea of clocking off and sitting poolside with a drink in hand sound like utter perfection? Gaze at the afternoon sky while sipping on a fruity frozen cocktail (or on the rocks) from Cat-Tails Pool Bar & Grille. Complement your drink with a fresh appetizer, salad, sandwich, or entrée.
For a more upscale experience, unwind at the chic bars located within Cala Bella and A Land Remembered restaurants. No matter your preference, you’re sure to find the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a drink (or two) at Rosen Shingle Creek.
