SALTED RIM – MARGARITA BAR & LOUNGE

Tequila, Margarita and “Salted Rims”….that’s what it’s all about.

They are all unique in their production and history.
Located in the main lobby overlooking the property, guests can revel in Caribbean elegance with the finest lounge service, authentic and extensive selection of tequilas, mezcals and bacanoras, to create their favorite Margarita, blended, frozen, shaken, as well as other more adventurous creations. A menu is available, although our mixologists are ready to display their innovative bartending skills and prepare new and exciting concoctions.
