The right room is personal — a swim-out for the pool people, a top floor for the view people, two real bedrooms and two baths for families who like a little distance. Here's the lineup from the resort's own accommodations pages.
From the resort's own accommodations pages — categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.
Where you'll actually spend the week — how many places there are to eat and drink, what the pool scene offers, and what the water in front of the resort is really like.

Kids' club ages, hours, and babysitting availability change seasonally — confirm with the resort before booking.
Not sure this one fits your crew? Match resorts to your kids' exact ages — verified facts, not brochure claims.
