Newly renovated rooms, some of which have balconies or porches, are spacious, tasteful and modern.

The Latin verb voco means “to call,” but it can also mean “to invite.” Port St. Lucie’s new voco Sandpiper Resort invites residents and tourists to enjoy a luxurious stay at Florida’s newest all-inclusive resort. After a soft opening in early January, Phase One of the multi-million dollar renovations are finished; reservations for overnight stays and day passes are now on sale.

Voco Sandpiper All-Inclusive Resort is the first of its kind among InterContinental Hotel Group’s U.S. holdings. Located on the St. Lucie River, voco Sandpiper aims to provide a relaxing vibe with the most modern accommodations. It has multiple dining options, meeting spaces, venue options and entertainment. The resort’s convenient location will draw local residents for stay-cations, as well as tourists seeking a destination or a launching pad for exploring the area.

Voco hotels are an upscale element of the IHG brand. Miranda Allison is marketing director. “[The company] allows you to speak to the soul of property with marketing and events, creating your guest experience,” she said. “We’re excited to be the first all-inclusive voco, and one of the few resort vocos.”
