How I ranked the rooms
Rankings emphasize three practical factors travelers use most: view and proximity to pools or golf, included Club Lounge access when available, and usable space (separate living area, sofa beds for families).
I used the resort’s official room names and specifications (square footage, bed configurations, and noted Club access) rather than reviews or unverifiable claims. If you need exact measurements or availability, confirm with the hotel before booking.
- Priority 1 — Club access and views (Club Room, Lake View; Club Room, Resort View).
- Priority 2 — Separate living area or sofa bed for families (Room, with Sofa bed, Resort View; Executive Suite, 1 Bedroom types).
- Priority 3 — Signature top-tier suites for space and privacy (Presidential Suite; Royal Suite).
| Why it matters | What to pick |
|---|---|
| Best for lounge perks and quieter lake/golf views | Club Room, Lake View |
| Best for families needing extra beds | Room, with Sofa bed, Pool View or Room, with Sofa bed, Lake View |
| Best for large-space privacy and separate living/dining | Executive Suite, 1 Bedroom (all view variants); Presidential Suite |
Top value choices: Club Room, Lake View & Club Room, Resort View
Club Room, Lake View and Club Room, Resort View are the best value for travelers who want upgraded service and access to the Club Lounge. The rooms are described by the hotel as offering 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds and Club benefits.
Club Rooms typically place you near quieter lake or resort-facing sides of the property, which helps with sunset views and easier access to the golf course vistas and lakeside grounds.
- Who should pick these: business travelers, couples wanting quieter views, guests who value Club Lounge snacks and private seating.
- Typical perks: Club Lounge access (food and beverage offerings in a private space), layered seating in the Club area, balconies in many renovated rooms.
- Confirm with the hotel which Club benefits are included on your rate before booking.

Best suites for privacy and space: Executive Suite and Presidential Suite
Executive Suite, 1 Bedroom (Pool View / Resort View / Lake View) are consistent picks when you want a distinct living area plus bedroom — all listed at about 960 sq. ft. and with configurations that include a Double Bed in some listings and a Double Sofa Bed in others.
For travelers who need the largest private layouts, the Presidential Suite (Pool View and Family variant with Club Lounge Access) and the Royal Suite are the top-tier options; these are the hotel’s most spacious inventory and include multiple living and dining spaces.
- Executive Suite, 1 Bedroom: good balance of space and cost for small groups or work trips.
- Presidential Suite: highest privacy and formal living/dining areas; one Presidential listing specifically notes Family + Club Lounge Access.

Family-friendly picks: Rooms with sofa beds and pool views
If you’re traveling with kids, choose Room, with Sofa bed, Pool View or Room, with Sofa bed, Lake View (both list 1 King Bed plus 1 Double Sofa Bed) — these keep everyone in one room while offering extra sleeping surfaces.
The property also lists Room, Pool View (480 sq. ft.) and Room, Resort View (463 sq. ft.) that can sleep up to 4 guests when configured with 2 Queen Beds; these are practical if you prefer standard guest rooms rather than suites.
- Recommended: Room, with Sofa bed, Pool View — places you close to the family pool and poolside dining at Bleu Pool Bar.
- Alternative for groups: Room, Pool View (1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds) — slightly more compact but direct pool proximity.
- Ritz Kids program and the kids pool are available for a surcharge or included by activity — check age and scheduling details with the resort.
