The Adventure Water Park includes a 900‑foot lazy river, a 110‑foot waterslide and a FlowRider simulator (the FlowRider and some pool areas have been reported closed at times during renovations—check availability before arrival).

Parking, pets and other incidental fees
Parking and pet fees are not included in the room rate or resort fee. Marriott lists standard self-parking and valet rates on its property page; one official listing shows self-parking at $30/day and valet at $45/day, though third-party sites sometimes report slightly different amounts. Always confirm current daily parking rates at check-in.
The resort is pet-friendly in designated rooms only; third-party listings report a pet fee (for example, one site reports a pet fee of around $100 per accommodation, per stay), pet-size/weight limits, and rules that pets cannot be left unattended. Service animals are exempt from pet fees. Other incidentals — room-service orders, minibar items, paid activities, and meeting/event charges — are billed separately to your room or charged at point of sale.
- Self-parking and valet: charged separately (Marriott lists $30/day self, $45/day valet on its page)
- Pet fee: reported by third-party sources (confirm amount and rules with the hotel when booking)
- Incidentals at check-in: hotel may require a credit card or deposit for incidentals

Booking notes and how to confirm charges
Room types at the resort use exact names such as Traditional Room, Room, Resort View, Deluxe Room, Junior Suite, Suite, 1 Bedroom, Luxury Suite, 1 Bedroom, and Presidential Suite, etc. Always confirm which specific room type and view are included in your reservation before arrival.
Because the resort is undergoing multi-phase renovations and some venue hours or features (for example, The Scotch Library or certain FlowRider access) may be temporarily closed or have limited hours, check current availability, opening hours and any temporary closures before you travel.
- Ask for a detailed breakdown of the mandatory resort fee and any promotional inclusions at booking
- Confirm parking rates, pet fees, kids-club program pricing and spa hours when you call or at check-in
- If you need accessible features, request the exact accessible room type (Mobility/Hearing Access options are listed) at booking
