The following improvements
have been exceeding guest expectations already:

Country Club’s Jack Nicklaus Signature design golf course received
rejuvenation of bunkers and greens. This $600,000 project dramatically
changed the aesthetics of the golf course, creating the look and feel
of a new facility, while keeping the traditions of this championship
layout.

Westin WORKOUT fitness center was completely remodeled and outfitted
with state-of-the art Life Fitness strength training equipment. Westin
Workout amenities are available to all resort guests.

System. This process involves layering different consistencies of
materials made from recycled tires. (Each court was applied with
material from approximately 15,000 recycled tires!)

Sprinters now offer stylish transport to shopping and dining
experiences at the nearby La Encantada shopping center, an elegant
refuge for the region's best retail therapy and dining.

property.

177 foot Slidewinder waterslide.
