The resort, which contains 400 guestrooms, stands on a 172-acre parcel in Dana Point. It will feature an 18-hole oceanfront golf course, a private beach club with access to a 6.1-acre beach, a 500-sf business center, several restaurants, a wine cellar with a large tasting room, a beauty salon and various specialty retail shops.
