All 5 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.

| Family Suite | Sleeps 4 | 592 ft²55 m² | 2 bedrooms | Not published |
| Family Junior Suite | Sleeps 4 | 732 ft²68 m² | 1 bedroom | Pool view |

| Superior Room | Sleeps 2 | Not published | Not published | Pool, lazy river or garden view |

The rate, and where to check it
Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.
Per-person figures assume two sharing. Taxes and fees vary by channel, so compare the final screen, not the first one.
Where else to look
- Resort website (opens in a new tab)
- Booking.com (opens in a new tab)
- Expedia (opens in a new tab)
- Tripadvisor reviews (opens in a new tab)
Same stay on every channel. Book wherever it comes out cheapest, whether or not we earn on it. Some of these are affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.
We check this rate on a rotating schedule. Leave an email and we'll flag a real drop, not a countdown timer.
Oct to May
Real seasons here: highs run from 72°F in January to 102°F in July, with no month taking an unusual share of the rain, so warmth is the whole decision.
