Practical tips for families traveling with kids
Because cribs/infant beds are not provided on-property, bring a portable travel crib if you need one. Confirm bed arrangements and whether children will be charged as part of your specific reservation before arrival.
If you plan to use the pool cabana or daybed service, note cabana rentals run a full day (10:00 AM–6:00 PM) and reservations must be checked in by 11:00 AM or the reservation may be forfeited with a charge. Pool rules prohibit glass, coolers and outside food/beverage.
- Bring a portable crib; the hotel does not provide cribs/infant beds
- Confirm child-age policies on your booking to verify 'children stay free' rules
- Pool cabanas/daybeds include admission wristbands and have occupancy caps
- Spa and H2O Bar require 21+ — plan childcare or alternate activities if needed
| Item | What to do |
|---|---|
| Need a crib | Bring a travel/portable crib |
| Pool cabana reservation | Check in by 11:00 AM or risk forfeiture / partial charge |
| Planning spa time | Reserve ahead and confirm age rules (21+) |
