Another dissent here (sorry wideman): while I certainly do not defend any snooty behavior that goes on at the shops across the street from us, you have to admit that aesthetically, it is a lovely place to shop--open air ritzy shopping mall, pleasant waterfalls and fountains, etc.

As for nothing else within walking distance of the hotel, again I have to disagree. Take dining options: in addition to our own restaurants at the resort, within a 2 block radius of us there are almost a dozen different restaurants ranging from Japanese, seafood, high end Italian, Kosher Italian, a 60s style soda fountain shop...

Finally, rest assured that our pool is NOT cold! Contrary to the prior comment, our 260,000-gallon pool is heated to a comfortable 84 degrees Fahrenheit year round. (And the two Jacuzzis are set at a toasty 102 degrees!)
