The condo is close to both of Bermuda Bay's two pools. The "family pool" is great for swimming or chilling after a game of tennis, racquetball or pickle ball on adjacent courts. The front bay pool which overlooks the beach along with the spa & small putting green offers more of a lively social scene. Both pools are heated in the winter.
