After the acquisition, the hotel underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation program that upgraded guestrooms, banquet facilities, building exteriors and the hotel’s lobby as well as 120 on-site golf villas.

Amenities include an 18-hole golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus, three outdoor swimming pools, four restaurants, five clay courts for tennis, a 12,000-square-foot spa and a private beach with its own wait staff. The property manager is Crescent Hotels & Restaurants.

The debt and equity finance team at Mission Capital Advisors, LLC, arranged the $42 million loan from Walker & Dunlop. The team included Jonathan More, Ari Hirt, Steven Buchwald and Justin Hunt. – Mike Seemuth
