08 / FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Honeymoon Planning, Villa Selection & Package Protection FAQs
Should honeymooners book a Beachfront Suite or Hillside Pool Suite at Hermitage Bay?
Always choose the Hillside Pool Suite (#18–#30). While Beachfront Suites step onto the sand, only the Hillside Pool Suites feature private infinity plunge pools and completely secluded wrap-around sunset decks.
