Dining & drinks: full-service restaurants vs in-unit options

Henderson Beach Resort & Spa – Dining & drinks

Henderson has multiple on-site dining outlets covering casual to refined fare.

  • Primrose Coastal Italian is the signature restaurant (breakfast & dinner; smart casual dress code).
  • Horizons Gastropub, Sea Level poolside bar, The Rooftop (cocktails & sushi) and Sprinkles Café provide variety.

Henderson is the choice for guests who want multiple on-site restaurants and bar choices.

Mainsail 278 – Dining & drinks

  • Condo guests can prepare meals in-unit or use the on-site grocery/convenience store.
  • No published signature on-site restaurants or bars in the supplier listing.

  • Fitness facilities are listed but details are limited in the supplier listing.
