This appetizer platter of meats and cheeses at Stella is typical
of the top-quality ingredients that are used in every dish.

suits your mood and taste buds.
However, if you can’t decide, that is fine;
because you can have it all by going to
the Beau’s extensive Buffet for breakfast,
lunch or dinner. The enormous selection
here is bound to have you overeating, as
you try to sample some of everything;
and, of course, the cost of the Buffet is
practically a giveaway. The emphasis at
every dining opportunity at the Beau is
on quality and presentation. There is no
need to leave the property, as whatever
you could possibly desire is there.
Another major attraction for us at the
Beau is their entertainment. They have
dancing and more in their Coast nightclub
and live jazz in the Eight 75 Club

They also feature big-name entertainment
and specially produced shows at their
on-property theatre that is equipped with
the latest sound and lighting technology.
During our visit, we were blown away by
The Molly Ringwalds, a 1980s musical
concert one night and by an international
variety show called YAYE the next, which
included everything from clowns to aerial
acts in a cirque-type production. It featured
spectacular performers from around the
globe, who performed the impossible, as
they enchanted with their creativity and
skills. The theatre is also home to unrivaled
fashion shows and other special events.
To fill in the time between eating, relaxing
and being entertained, there is a decadent

Sound, a premier championship golf
course, and a salon that offers hair, skin
and nail services. Along with all this, the
large promenade is filled with specialty
shops that cater to a variety of tastes and
interests. Men’s and women’s fashions,
high-end or everyday jewelry, home
décor and kitchenware will tempt you
with their unique selections.
As we often do, we have left one of our
most guilty pleasures, the Spa, for last.
Here, Southern hospitality at this elegant
facility is everything you could hope it
would be. They offer a luxuriously
hydrating facial, traditional massages, as
well as marmalade scrubs and treatments
that use smooth stones wrapped in bags
soaked in warm oil and more. There is no
better way to spoil yourself than by
having one or more of these restorative
experiences.
Finally, there is the Casino, which is
electric with excitement 24-hours a day. It
features a poker room, special promotions,
2,100 slot machines, baccarat, blackjack,
craps and roulette, along with a highlimit
lounge for those seeking true luxury
gaming. Clearly, the Beau Rivage is an
ideal getaway no matter what your age or
interests.
