Went on a Friday evening, they recently opened the bar to open until late. Got lucky without reservation, highly recommend having one. The pool area is different from the grove bar. I personally enjoyed the grove bar more, it has more space to sit and lounge. The have a attached restaurant too. The view was amazing from one part of the restaurant. Cocktails are very pricey.”

He didn’t let my sparkling water glass go empty the entire time. Now, that’s paying attention to detail. He fixed us custom drinks that taste delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing, cool and mellow with a splash of style and charisma with Dj and bartender and servers as well.”
