Dining, pools and the beach

Official and Expedia sources identify Rhodes Restaurant, The Beach Club and additional dining/bar venues; Rhodes Restaurant is included in the all-inclusive and half-board plans.
Pools & waterplay
Calabash has a main pool, while select suites and villas add private plunge pools.
The beach itself
Official FAQ describes Calabash as directly on a calm, sheltered beach suitable for swimming and paddleboarding.
- Calm water, swimmable straight off the sand
- Caveat: Sargassum seaweed lands seasonally, raked daily
Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.
Who fits where at Calabash Hotel
All 5 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Size | Bedrooms | Aspect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Westside Suite | Sleeps 2 | 474 ft²44 m² | 1 bedroom | Garden and ocean |
| Superior Deluxe Suite | Sleeps 2 | Not published | 1 bedroom | Ocean |
| Pool Suite | Sleeps 2 | Not published | 1 bedroom | Garden and oceanprivate pool |
| Penthouse Suite | Sleeps 2 | Not published | 1 bedroom | Ocean |
| Villa | Not published | Not published | 2 bedrooms | Beach and oceanprivate pool |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

Before you book
Seven things the research turned up about Calabash Hotel that the brochure does not say.
Calabash is a boutique luxury hotel with an optional all-inclusive plan, not a default wristband-style mega-resort.
The official all-inclusive rate information has meaningful exclusions, especially spa treatments, diving, motorized watersports and wine-list bottles.
This is best for travelers who want calm, service, food and privacy more than a wide activity lineup.
Hidden tips
Compare half-board and all-inclusive pricing carefully; the official promotion structure shows that meal-plan upgrades can materially change value.
Things guests wish they had known
All-inclusive is available, but it is an optional meal plan rather than the only product.
The official all-inclusive rate information has important exclusions, including spa treatments, diving excursions, motorized water sports and wine-list bottles.
This is a small luxury boutique hotel, not a large activity-heavy resort.

The rate, and where to check it
Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.
Per-person figures assume two sharing. This resort prices room-only by default; the all-inclusive plan is a paid add-on, so add it when you book.
