The different units available are perfect for couples and families and feature contemporary open floor plans, luxurious living spaces, gourmet kitchens, stainless steel appliances, washer/dryer, outdoor BBQs and glass railed lanai's, with some as large as 3,200 square feet.  During my recent visit to the resort, I was able to tour a studio suite, two bedroom suite and a three bedroom suite to get a feel for what the resort has to offer its guests.
