Book Online
Use link above to book online– enter your check-in and check-out dates and select the “Code Applied” button from the drop down menu and enter the Group number 39M8Z4. Then hit the Update/Search Rooms button – your group rate will come up as available.
The group rate is only available online for the nights of 5/14, 5/15, 5/16 and 5/17 – if you try to book pre or post dates, it will say the resort has no availability. Any pre/post stays will need to be made directly with the Resort so availability can be checked as we have limited availability.
The group rate is $149, but the online system will show your rate to include the resort fee. PLEASE IGNORE THIS. The group will NOT pay the Resort Fee and this will be fixed upon check in. When reserving online, you are only holding the room with a credit card and you will not be charged until arrival.
