5 STAR LUXURY RESORT 709 ROOMS & 52 SUITES From the moment you approach through a tree-shaded drive and pass a large waterfall, you recognize this 40-acre resort is something grand in scale and in luxury. The resort features five themes: water (pools, hot tubs, a reflecting pool, waterfalls, koi ponds); flowers and trees (the world's largest resort landscaping project); sound (splashing water, music); light (the sun, tiki torches); and art (a collection that includes works by Picasso, Legar, Bolero, and Warhol). Families, honeymooners, and vacationing couples gravitate to the pools, but sunning lawns and the beach remain uncrowded.
