Morning: Ease Into Island Time
Start with a light breakfast
Begin at Island Grind, the on-site café (open 6:30 a.m.–8:00 p.m.), for locally inspired bites and a well-made coffee before the day’s adventures.
Optional stretch or sweat
Prefer to energize? The fitness center is open 24/7. On select days, you can join the hotel’s complimentary morning yoga classes (twice weekly, 9:00–10:00 a.m.).
Pre-shop pool chill
Slide into vacation mode at the outdoor pool. Claim a lounger, grab complimentary pool towels, and settle in with a borrowed book from the on-site library. When the swim-up bar opens (11:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m.), toast to a no-car day in paradise. You’ll also find a separate poolside bar for easy refreshments.
Pro tip: Snap a few photos at the hotel’s colorful Instagram-friendly murals before you head out—then share the moment and tag @tryparuba.
