Pools, beach and lake — what to bring
The resort offers three outdoor pools including a large lagoon-style pool with waterfalls, a waterslide, grotto caves and a private white-sand beach on Lake Windsong. Pack swimwear, a quick-dry cover-up, water shoes if you plan to use the grotto or rocky areas, and a sun hat.
Sunscreen and a reusable water bottle are important — pool hours and specific water-activity rules can vary by season, and wristbands are required at the pool to identify registered guests.
- Swimsuits and cover-ups
- Sunscreen (reef-safe if you prefer) and lip balm with SPF
- Water shoes or sandals with traction
- Light towel or pool towel if you prefer your own (hotel provides pool towels)
- Small dry bag for phone/wallet during lake activities
Room basics and toiletries
Guest rooms include standard amenities such as free Wi‑Fi and in-room bottled water and coffee as part of the resort fee. Bring any prescription medications and your preferred personal toiletries if you need specific brands or formulations.

Active gear and family items

For families: bring a lightweight day pack, reusable snack containers, a small travel stroller if needed, and child life jackets or flotation devices if your children need them (the resort offers water sports and a splash area but lifeguards are not always present at the lagoon pool or slide).

- Portable charger and waterproof phone pouch
- Small travel games or activity kits for downtime
