When you need to unwind, soak up the rays by one of the resort's three pools or book a treatment at the Joya Spa. For many visitors, the highlight of their accommodations was the in-room private patio or balcony — If you can, request a room overlooking the mountain for the best views.

If you like peace and quiet, ask for a room in the Bocce Garden Village (and have a bocce court right outside your door).
