Electronic message boards outside each room make it easy for guests to navigate the facility, while satellite check-in stations can be arranged for seamless arrivals.

Between South Florida's tropical warm weather and the resort's extensive exterior space, functions are held outdoors year round. The popular Magnolia Courtyard, a 4,000 square-foot Mediterranean-style outdoor terrace, accommodates up to 300 guests and provides a picturesque backdrop overlooking the signature 18-hole "Island Green" and 64-foot waterfall. Additional outdoor venues include the tranquil Cascata Pool, new Laguna Pool and lush lawns lined with palm trees and vibrant colored foliage.

All meetings and conferences are supervised by the resort's experienced team of meeting professionals, catering managers and event concierges who have years of industry experience and take great care to exceed expectations.
