What's included in your stay and what costs extra
Complimentary high-speed Wi‑Fi, access to the 24-hour fitness center, on-site pools, and basic use of some recreation (driving range/putting green access, tennis/pickleball courts) are included as part of a paid nightly stay; however the property charges a mandatory daily resort fee that covers many of those enhanced amenities. Expect additional charges for dining, spa treatments, golf green fees/lessons, valet parking, pet fees, and some recreational add-ons.
