The dress code for PG meetings is resort casual. The awards dinner is on the beach so attire there is also casual but many members may want to dress up a little so imagine what you may wear to a "beach wedding. Restaurants on property list a dress code as "Casual-Elegant." The resort defines this as such: Gentleman required long pants, close shoes, shirt with sleeves and collar. Ladies: Dress, skirt, casual short, and casual shoes are allowed.
Note: The resort asks that guests not walk through the resort in only swimsuits. Shoes and shirts are required in common areas.
