Evenings might start at the steakhouse Crown Grill or the Italian trattoria Sabatinis, move to a Broadway-style show at the Princess Theater, and end at Crooners Bar or Skywalkers Nightclub. Up top, Movie Under The Stars screens films poolside, adults retreat to The Sanctuary or the glass-roofed Lotus Pool, and kids have The Lodge At Camp Discovery, Tree House At Camp Discovery and the Beach House Teen Lounge.
