The Beachcomber has 102 guest rooms, two outdoor pools and the popular Jimmy B’s Beach Bar.
“We are intrigued by the potential synergy between The Beachcomber and Hilton Garden Inn,” said Rain.
The Beachcomber Resort reopened in Oct. 2025, after it was closed for renovations due to back-to-back storm damage.
