Parking policies have varied across sources. Confirm current self-parking and valet charges with the resort before arrival; some sources list self-parking as complimentary while others list daily fees for self-park and valet.
- Bring a reservation or confirmation when you pick up your rental car.
- Ask the resort directly about current self-parking or valet rates before arrival.
- If you prefer not to drive, plan for rideshare or taxi pickups and note there is no complimentary airport transfer run by the resort.
