Sister-resort dining requires advance reservations through the Front Desk and is subject to availability. The House accepts no inbound sister-resort diners; Treasure Beach admits only guests aged 18+. Colony Club dining is separately paid with a published 30% food-and-beverage discount. The complimentary daytime West Coast water taxi is weather-dependent and does not serve Turtle Beach; arrange land transport separately.
