Booking Instructions, Room Information & Important Dates
Attention – There are no prices listed on this page for the rooms available at this resort. That is because it’s based on availability of the room category you choose at that time and how soon you make your reservation.
In order to get an accurate and up to date price you must fill out the reservation form with the number of people (adults & children – birthday date required for accurate pricing) attending, the dates you will be arriving and departing, the room category you would like to stay in, and if you would like trip insurance or not.
Once I have that information, I will check with the resort and send you an email with the most recent pricing and then after I have your approval I will make your reservation.
I recommend if you already know you will be attending the wedding to make your reservation soon. February can be a busy time of year and rooms may book fast. If you wait too late, you may not be able to reserve a room and prices will increase.
Don’t worry, your credit card will not automatically be charged when you submit the form.
As of October 17th, 2018, the price for 2 adults staying in the Junior Suite Garden View rooms for 3 nights (2/14/19 – 2/17/19) is $1326.14 ($663.07 per person).
