⭐The resort offers a Sensory-Friendly Calming Room developed in collaboration with SSM Health, providing accommodations for guests experiencing sensory overload
⭐Water park admission is included with overnight resort stays, with day passes also available for non-guests, creating a hybrid resort-and-park model
