Warmer temperatures are just around the corner. You know what this means—high electric bills, the inability to get away with not shaving your legs for months at a time, constant fear that your eyeballs may melt. But wait! There’s an upside!

Hip-hop artist Sean Kingston kicks off the season May 13, pop-rock duo Tears for Fears wraps up September 16, and between them are alt-rock, reggae and pop-rock acts.

The centerpiece of the property is the three-acre pool complex with 19 cabanas and swim-up gaming. Its location allows for balcony views from several of the property's restaurants and Cherry Nightclub. Aside from Cherry, guests can grab a drink at Onyx or Lucky or listen to live music in Rocks Lounge.
