The grounds are plush and well groomed, with bursts of bougainvillea, grassy knolls and a stunning 27-hole golf course. Weddings, conferences and other special events abound and with their multiple ballrooms and both indoor and outdoor event spaces, the options are pretty spectacular.
An adult pool and jacuzzi is located just steps from the hotel’s main entrance. Here, adults can order cocktails and bites while relaxing in one of the many plush lounge chairs. On the other side of the resort, is a family-friendly water park called Splashtopia, which features a 425-foot lazy river, two 100-foot waterslides, a sandy beach and more, which can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. But if you’re an adult looking to really indulge, try the spa, which features its very own intimate pool, and a bevy of spa treatments, including signature massages, facials, hair and nail services as well as spa day packages.
