An AAA Four Diamond resort, there is plenty to do here whether you seek a relaxing retreat or an active getaway.
Ready to dive in? Stay cool in one of the resort’s five pools or spend time floating down the 1,600-linear-foot Lazy River. Guests can also channel their inner child with a ride down the 89-foot serpentine slide.
Meanwhile, sport lovers will enjoy the 17 pickleball courts, five tennis courts, and 26 holes of championship golf at Wildfire Golf Club. Bike rentals are also available, along with convenient access to nearby hiking and fitness trails.
