Accommodations will include 26 rooms and 2 Dormitories, each fronting on a covered Verandah to enjoy the ocean view (rain or shine). The first stage comprises of 10 rooms (4 rooms are completed at present & 6 room structure is 60% complete), and 2 completed Dormitories (each for 4-6 beds and full bathroom), a Restaurant (completed) which will double as a Tourist Center and will accommodate excursion groups of up to 120 people, convenience store (completed) and Bar (completed) structure.

The second stage development program includes 16 more rooms along with a health SPA & Fitness center and assorted convenient landscape structures.

Because of its unique location it will also provide a one-stop Tourist Center for tour services to all attractions in the project area. At present, all individual tour service providers and facilitators are scattered all over the area from road side locations to under the tree on intersections to the parking lot of govt buildings and boat moorage site; and are not the most convenient, competitive and safe business practices for a visitor. Amapola Tourist Center services will include bringing most of the area tour operators and facilitators under one roof at Amapola Location which is uniquely served by Road, Beach, Canal & by Air (float plane). At least 40% of these operators and facilitators are expected to locate at Amapola. Amapola tours will be conducted by Boats, Tourist Buses & Vans and by Air ( Helicopter & Float plane).
