Planning tips for honeymooners
Book spa appointments and a waterside dinner reservation in advance to secure preferred times, and decide whether you want a private casita for more separation from main buildings. Every overnight stay includes spa bathrobes and unlimited soaking access, so plan at least one extended soak session into your itinerary.
The property is spread over varied terrain and lodging is dispersed across the grounds; leave luggage in your vehicle at Guest Services at check-in until directed to your room. The resort is smoke- and vape-free and enforces a pet-free policy (service animals excepted).
- Reserve spa treatments and dinner ahead of arrival
- Expect to walk or take short drives across 77-acre property; plan footwear accordingly
- No in-room TVs — the property encourages unplugged time
- Free parking is available but limited, so carpooling is advised for day visitors
| Useful item | Why bring it |
|---|---|
| Layered clothing | High-desert temperatures vary widely by time of day |
| Comfortable walking shoes | Paths include gravel, flagstone, and compact dirt |
| Swimwear & swimsuit cover-up | For thermal soaks and seasonal saltwater pool use |
