- Towels included—convenient for a spontaneous pool day.
- A built‑in Two for one Margarita Special to elevate your afternoon by the pool.
Pick the Winter Day Pass if you value:
- Kids’ activities (based on hotel scheduling)—a smart pick for families visiting during the winter period.
- A higher child food & beverage credit (US$20/BDS$40) to stretch lunchtime treats for younger guests.
Both seasons include pool access and a hospitality room, with the option to add a One‑Bedroom Suite (Run of House; max 4 persons; subject to availability) for extra comfort and privacy.

- Summer add‑on: US$100 (BDS$200)
- Winter add‑on: US$125 (BDS$250)
Why consider it?
- A private base for mid‑day breaks between swims.
- Extra space for getting ready before dinner plans.
- A quiet retreat for little ones or multi‑generational groups.
Note: “Run of House” means the specific suite allocation is based on availability.
Food & Beverage Credits: How to Use Them Wisely
Every pass includes a food & beverage credit you can apply to on‑property dining and drinks:
- Adults: US$25 (BDS$50) credit in both seasons.
- Children (ages 4–12): US$10 (BDS$20) in summer; US$20 (BDS$40) in winter.
Smart ways to use your credit:
- Time your poolside bites so you use the full credit during your 10:00 am – 6:00 pm window.
- If you’re visiting in summer, plan a round with the Two for one Margarita Special.
Tip: If you’re using a hospitality room, remember that expenses cannot be charged to the room—settle bills directly at the outlet.
