We spent a lovely afternoon at the Octagon Ocean Club and really enjoyed it! The infinity pool is definitely the highlight — calm, beautifully designed, and overlooking the ocean. The whole atmosphere is super relaxed, and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming.

We will miss Boys honest and sincerely way he’s running...
