| - I want to permanently live at my new favorite stay-cation destination!!!
At checkin, I was asked which room location I would like (all of which came with a balcony!) - my choices included - pool view, lagoon view, quiet buildings, those located near the party area - so many choices! I was in heaven!! We chose a room overlooking the lagoon - semi close to the pool, but far enough away to have zero noise. At night, there's a fire fountain in the middle of the lagoon that was so wonderful to watch while sitting on the balcony sipping lemon drops and having deep talks.
The amenities were FANTASTIC! There are two water slides that kept us busy w/ the 5YO for hours. There are nice size gates around the pool area and it felt very safe and clean. The adult lounge area was very sleek and beautiful. Next time, we will bring friends so we can hang here and leave the kids with a babysitter at night! All of the grounds were wonderfully lush and landscaped nicely. I never saw one piece of garbage on the ground anywhere.
The room was lovely - beautiful decor, great materials, no detail was compromised and the place was perfectly clean. Even with the loud fire fountain outside and the ice machine outside our room, our room was completely quiet inside - it was a great experience.
We bought our room with miles, but given the amazing rates, I think we will have to have one more weekend here.
Here's a link to the great summer rates.

I would recommend bringing your own booze - we bought two boat drinks by the pool for a little under $30 including tip. Thank goodness we had our own mixers in our room for the rest of the stay!
Highly Highly Highly Highly recommend this place!!!
