Best value and convenience: Club Room (Lodge)
Club Room (Lodge) is the primary lodge‑style guestroom offered as 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds. It offers the basic lodge location, easy access to the main lobby, restaurants and resort amenities, and many Club Rooms have balconies or patios with resort or rock views.
This is the best choice when you want straightforward access to the resort’s dining rooms, spa and pools without booking a suite or cottage.

| Couples who want easy access | Close to lobby, restaurants and pools |
| Short overnight stays | Lower cost than suites or cottages |
Best for longer stays or privacy: Cottage and Suite (Casita)
Cottage and Suite (Casita) categories are the residential-style options. Cottages are described on property materials as private, home-like units with patios and large bathrooms; Casitas and Casita Suites add open living areas, kitchenettes or kitchen facilities depending on the unit.
Choose these if you need a kitchenette or separate living/dining space, or if you want to be a short drive/ walk away from the lodge for quieter evenings and private outdoor seating.
- Cottage (1 King Bed) — private patio, fireplace, larger bathroom layouts (listed in resort room types)
- Suite (Casita) / Room (Casita) — options with kitchen or kitchenette in some Casita layouts
- Room, 2 Bedrooms and Room, 3 Bedrooms — multi‑bedroom options for families or groups
| Cottage/Casita option | Best for |
|---|---|
| Cottage | Privacy and a residential feel with patio and full bathroom |
| Suite (Casita) | Longer stays that benefit from kitchenette/kitchen and living area |
| Room, 2 or 3 Bedrooms | Families or groups needing separate bedrooms |
