A Walkable Feast in the Heart of San Pedro

Wellness and dining go hand-in-hand. Because Red Ginger is located inside The Phoenix Resort, our guests enjoy the luxury of a short, scenic walk to dinner, avoiding the golf cart congestion that February often brings to the town center. After a day of "Adventure" on the reef, come home to "Restoration" through flavor.
