Other in-room amenities include a refreshment center, work desk with ergonomic chair, spacious bathroom, in-room safe and gourmet coffee.

The resort’s all-day restaurant, Seasonal Tastes features an imaginative menu, while the Chinese restaurant, Five Sen5es provides an ideal setting for celebrations with loved ones and business associates, as well as CHOKO which is a separate, peaceful dining area for guests to enjoy vegetarian cuisine. At The Lobby Lounge, guests can indulge in a cocktail, a freshly brewed coffee or a cup of Westin Jing Tea in front of beautiful sea views. In-room dining is also available 24 hours a day.

Resort facilities provide both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, including a wave pool, as well as a fitness studio, complete with free weights and cardio equipment. In partnership with New Balance, guests can also borrow workout clothing and shoes during their stay so they can pack light and stay fit.
