The options are endless. My family and I went over a holiday weekend, and at the time of check-in there was a coloring station for the kids, a scavenger hunt throughout the resort and duck food provided to feed the ducks on the beautiful Spanish moss tree lined property. Enjoy the lush palm tree surroundings with two outdoor pool areas, one being family friendly and the other pool is adults only. There are multiple hot tubs, water slides and kids' splash pad where everyone can relax and enjoy their time. The Spa offers an indoor pool that is heated with views of the Gulf Coast bay, and do not forget to pamper yourself!
