Olivia's is located at the Hospitality House and offers all-day dining.  The menus feature a selection of standards:  eggs and pancakes for breakfast; burgers and sandwiches for lunch; steaks, pasta and pork for dinner.  Don't forget to try the Key Lime Tart for dessert. 

Dining reservations are available at Olivia's but are rarely needed. 


Recreation

Located near the Hospitality House, the main pool features a large winding sandcastle / slide (look for the Hidden Mickey at the exit.)  There is also a smaller pool to the side for infants and toddlers, a whirlpool and sauna located within the resort's iconic lighthouse.  The main pool is staffed by lifeguards.

Towels are provided.  Lounge chairs are available on a first-come, first-served basis.  Life jackets may be borrowed (free) from nearby Hank's Rent-n-Return.

Leisure Pools (Hours:  9am to 10pm)

Additional Leisure Pools (a.k.a. Quiet Pools) are located in the South Point, Old Turtle Pond and Miller's Road neighborhoods.  All guests are welcome at the Leisure Pools, however they do not have a waterslide or other features found only at the main pool.  The Leisure Pool in Old Turtle Pond area features quick service food at the Turtle Shack Snack Bar.

Towels and lounge chairs are also available.  Lifeguards are not present at the Leisure Pools.  Laundry facilities are available at each pool complex for those staying in Studio villas.
