The 10 Amenities South Point Has Covered (So You Can Pack Less)
Looking for a quick answer? Here are the top amenities that let you trim your packing list without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
1) Complimentary Wi‑Fi (Rooms + Public Areas)
Stay connected with free, high‑speed Wi‑Fi throughout the hotel. That means no need to pack hotspot devices or worry about roaming data while you plan your next outing.

3) Kitchenettes in Every Suite
Every suite includes a kitchenette with a microwave, kettle, coffee maker, and basic crockery—ideal for light meals and beverages. Pack fewer utensils and leave travel kettles and camp mugs at home.
4) In‑Room Dining Service
Prefer a quiet morning or a cozy night in? Order restaurant‑quality meals delivered to your suite. No need to bring snacks for every meal—enjoy convenient dining without stepping out.
5) On‑Site Dining and Drinks at Driftwood Restaurant & Bar
Dine on beautifully prepared dishes and sip expertly curated cocktails without leaving the property. Continental breakfast is available daily for an additional fee, and Happy Hour runs Friday–Sunday, 4–6 PM, with buy‑one‑get‑one‑free cocktails. That’s one less reason to pack picnic gear or barware.
6) Saltwater Pool with Loungers, Umbrellas, and a Poolside Bar
Make the most of a restorative saltwater swim with sun loungers and umbrellas at the ready—plus beverages from the dedicated poolside bar. No need to bring portable shade or extra pool accessories.
