Where to stay

Paradise Reserve is booked as a whole property and sleeps up to 16 in six bedrooms, five of them king suites with their own bathroom. Teams use the dining room and great room for sessions, with high-speed Wi-Fi, then reset with the pool and spa, golf simulator, putting green or pickleball court. Events and parties are not permitted at the house, and quiet hours apply.
