The main pool and children's pool are steps away from our front door. The main clubhouse is also where you’ll find our well equipped fitness center, clubhouse, outdoor wedding venue, hammock garden and Legacy Grille. If a quieter vibe is more you speed, then enjoy the quick walk across the hammock garden to the lap pool where you'll typically find adults in quiet relaxation soaking up the sun. With 12 pools and 11 hot tubs spread throughout the resort grounds, you’ll be happy to know that we have another pool and hot tub just beyond our front door where you will often be the only person there.
