Inside Pineapple Point
Gardens, pools, and a slower pace.
Two pools & two whirlpools
The main pool sits in a lush tropical garden ringed by loungers, and a separate lap pool runs alongside its own deck. Two whirlpools, one by each pool, are always open. The Spa Villa and Grand Villa add private hot tubs.
Two acres of tropical gardens
Six buildings sit among palms, ferns, fountains, and winding paths, with hammocks and shaded seating tucked throughout. It feels like a private estate, a few blocks from downtown.
Breakfast & happy hour
Continental breakfast is served daily, with coffee, juices, fresh fruit, muffins, eggs, French toast, and yogurt. At dusk, the poolside happy hour brings beer, wine, soda, and snacks, plus a poolside barbecue on some Saturdays.
Massage & fitness
Two licensed massage studios are on site, along with a compact gym with free weights, an elliptical, a treadmill, and a shower.
A social, all-male crowd
Pineapple Point says more than 90% of its guests return, and the pool deck is where friendships start. It’s relaxed rather than a party scene.
