The resort operates three outdoor pools, including a large lagoon-style pool complex with waterfalls, grotto, whirlpools and a waterslide; pool access is part of the resort fee. Wristbands are required at the pool to identify registered guests.
Some pool‑adjacent items cost extra: poolside cabanas and some lounger services are available for a surcharge, and the waterslide has a minimum height requirement (sources list 44" or 48"; confirm current rule on site). There are no lifeguards at the lagoon pool or waterslides according to available sources, so swim and slide at your own risk.
Included activities on the 21‑acre Lake Windsong include non‑motorized watercraft such as kayaks, canoes and paddleboards under the resort‑fee provisions; motorized rentals, private lessons or guided fishing (if offered) would be extra or need booking through the resort.
