Resort renovations:
The resort periodically undertakes renovation projects (currently upgrading the lobby, one of the restaurants, followed by the cultural center, fitness center, and meeting spaces in spring 2026) aimed at significantly enhancing our guest experience. The resort is diligently working to minimize any disruption to our valued guests while these important upgrades are in progress. Our unit is in a different building from the main lobby, where the renovation work is currently taking place.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as the resort works to transform itself to provide guests with the best possible experience, and we look forward to presenting a fully refreshed and upgraded resort.
