Opened in 2001, the hotel comprises a restored village that was used by tuna fishers from 1881 until the tuna stopped arriving in 1972. Grounds include a museum displaying a scale model of the elaborate net system fishers used, boat and ship models, typical fishers' dress, and a video of tuna-fishing activity. The grounds also include the village's chapel, a tranquil retreat featuring a wood ceiling, delicate wrought-iron chandeliers, a stained glass window, and a lower wall clad in blue-and-white tiles.

There is a daily surcharge for access to the health club area, including the indoor pool, spa tub, steam room, and fitness room, which is equipped with weight machines and cardio machines. The health club also contains a massage room.

Complimentary children's activities are offered in summer both in the former village's schoolhouse and outdoors. A lobby computer provides a high-speed Internet connection (surcharge).

A complimentary buffet breakfast is provided each morning in Salinas restaurant.
