It's the quiet overachiever. Every unit is a two-bedroom condo of about 1,050 square feet, AAA rates it Three Diamond, and there's no resort fee, Wi-Fi charge or parking charge.
It's a condo resort, not a hotel. There's no breakfast, no daily housekeeping and no shuttle. For a family that wants room to spread out before the ship, that's a fair trade.
Book it if
- Families of up to six who want two real bedrooms
- Anyone tired of paying resort fees
- Longer stays, with a washer and dryer in the condo
Look elsewhere if
- You want daily housekeeping. Stays over seven days get one tidy.
- You want breakfast on site.
- You're under 21 and registering.
What you’re paying for, and what you’re not
A splurge is worth it when you know exactly what the extra money buys. Green is on offer, gold comes with a cost or a catch, and grey isn’t there.
