ACCOMMODATIONS

​We stayed in a Signature Suite. This suite offers connectors as a two-room suite with one bedroom (either a king bed or two queen beds) or a three-room suite, with two bedrooms. We always like having a separate bedroom option so that we can shower and dress in privacy. It also includes a spacious living room with pullout sofa, generous dining area with a large table for six people, plus a wet bar (drink refrigerator, oven, and Keurig® coffee maker) and each room has it's own bathroom and direct access to a balcony. ​ With both connectors, along with the pull-out sleeper sofa, it's a perfect size for a family of 4 to 8.

It's as comfortable as it looks. Watch television or open the blinds for a lush, landscaped view.

Activities

Pools and Cabanas
They offer two types of cabanas, a spacious covered cabana or a family cabana. We had a family cabana, complete with lounge chairs, water misters, sofa, table, television, refrigerator filled with bottled water, and a cabinet to store all of our valuables. ​

With a 30 foot 3-story waterslide, 10 pools and even more waterfalls and fountains, you won't ever want to leave. Water coolers are located throughout the pool deck, along with towels. ​
