Pirate Themed Resort Rooms

Pirate-themed rooms are available at an additional charge beginning at $50 per night over the cost of a standard room, depending on season.

These rooms have some special decorations that make it feel as if you’re living out a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. The beds are made to look like a pirate ship, the dresser looks like boxes on a ship and the floor looks like old wood planks. While the Pirate rooms are heavily themed and amazing, keep in mind, they are the farthest rooms from Old Port Royale.
