Insider Tips

💡 Pro Tip: The Neighborhood Village

Many guests don't discover until late in their stay that there's a "Neighborhood Village" nearby with restaurants, mini golf, bike rentals, and a nature center. It's accessible via a 5-minute walking path or the resort's free shuttle. Ask about it at check-in!

Best Time to Visit

Peak Season (March-May, Oct-Nov): Best weather but highest prices. Book 2-3 months ahead.

Summer (June-Aug): Hot and humid but great for families. Watch for afternoon storms.

Off-Season (Dec-Feb): Lower rates and fewer crowds. Some amenities may have reduced hours.

Room Selection Tips

  • Ocean view rooms are worth the upgrade for the sunrise views
  • Higher floors tend to have less noise from neighboring rooms
  • Request a room away from elevators if you're a light sleeper
  • Ask about recent renovations – some room sections are newer than others
