At this monumentally proportioned resort with two golf courses, convention groups, families, and golf fanatics wander through a towering lobby, which sits, airport-terminal style, at the hub of several large room wings. (There are nearly 1,000 rooms, comfortably if conventionally furnished.) The lobby looks out into an extravagant pool area, with all sorts of different places to sunbathe and a long lazy river for the kids to float around endlessly. There’s a shopping mall nearby, with a collection of chain restaurants next to it, and the Musical Instrument Museum is close, but other major shopping or dining areas are 15 or 20 minutes away.
