The property is currently undergoing a massive $340 million renovation, featuring fully remodeled, all-suite rooms that provide plenty of space to pregame with friends.
The crown jewel for fall break is the revamped 3-acre Ipanema Pool oasis, which delivers a vibrant, Brazilian-inspired festive atmosphere with swim-up bars, DJ sets, and new cabanas for socializing.
