Decide first whether you need private outdoor space or separate living areas. If so, pick one of the Villas or Villa, Patio (Valley) types; for single-room comfort with a view, choose a courtyard-facing Premium Room or Room, 1 King Bed, Courtyard View.
When booking, confirm bed configuration (many room types list multiple bed options) and ask about connecting rooms if you need them. Also confirm pet specifics if traveling with animals—IHG’s listing notes no pet deposit, but third-party sites may list fees, so verify with the hotel.
- Confirm bed type when you reserve (many types list alternate bed layouts)
- Ask the front desk about exact location (pool-side vs. courtyard vs. casita) if proximity matters
- Verify pet rules directly despite third-party site listings
- Remember pool access, fitness classes and self-parking are included through the daily resort fee
| Question to ask before booking | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is my room near a specific pool? | Pools are spread across the 40-acre property (6 outdoor pools) |
| Is a rollaway or crib available? | Rollaway bed is listed at about $25/night; cribs available on request |
| Are there extra pet fees? | Hotel listing says no deposit/charge but some third parties list fees |
