Two-bedroom Family Condos sleep ten guests, two- to four-bedroom Luxury Condos sleep eight to fourteen guests and four-bedroom Penthouses sleep fourteen guests. Full gourmet kitchens have everything that you need to whip up anything from sandwiches to multi-course meals. Bake a batch of your famous fudge brownies and remember, there’s no such thing as too much chocolate. Don’t feel like cooking dinner? No problem, you have access to four restaurants at the Ritz-Carlton, the full-service concierge will be happy to assist you with reservations. Room service from the Ritz-Carlton is also available if you’d like to dine in your condo. There’s no shortage of in-suite entertainment. Flatscreen TVs have DirecTV, an Apple TV and a DVD player. You’re covered whether you want to catch the big game, watch the latest episode of your favorite show or have family movie night. Light a fire in your in-suite fireplace, get everyone together on the couch and get ready to be entertained. While everyone is deciding what to watch first, take a minute to throw a load of laundry in your in-suite washer/dryer. Now that’s one less thing to do when you get home. At the end of the night, there’s nothing like a relaxing soak in your in-suite jetted tub. Wine optional; but highly recommended. And thanks to the pillowtop beds, no one should have any trouble falling asleep.
