Alma serves breakfast 07:00–11:00. The official terms include daily breakfast at Alma in room rates, and the restaurant page describes it as complimentary for hotel guests; dishes include chilaquiles and avocado toast. In-villa breakfast inclusion is not specified.

Do not apply those percentages to the Google calendar as though its tax basis were known. The resort is cashless and requires a credit card for settlement; check the total and inclusions on your booking confirmation.

Children under 10 cannot stay in Treehouses. The terms require a parent’s waiver on arrival for children aged 10–18. For 2 adults and 2 children under 12, a Cliff Villa has a king bed and queen sofabed; its private plunge pool needs supervision.

Under the booking terms, KidsOnly is for ages 4–11; a 4-year-old must be toilet-trained and accompanied by a parent or babysitter. One Tribe is for ages 12–16, Wednesday–Sunday. KidsOnly’s forest setting includes hanging bridges, a butterfly farm and an insectary; babysitting costs extra and needs at least 24 hours’ notice.

The Jetty Beach Club sits beside the sheltered bay and advertises swimmable water. Surfing and other water activities are available through the resort’s partners. Swimming conditions vary: follow the team’s advice on the day rather than assuming calm water throughout the coast.

The current wellness page lists daily hours of 09:00–18:00.

The official policy accepts pets weighing less than 50 lb for USD 100 per pet, per day, in villas; Treehouses exclude pets. Keep the dog on a lead and never unattended. Pets may use the beach but cannot enter restaurants, spa, fitness or pool areas, cabanas or daybeds, except guide/service animals; private homes require a USD 3,000 deposit.

The hotel estimates around 1 hour from PVR airport by SUV or Sprinter. Request transfers at least 24 hours before arrival; the standard terms do not publish a fare or include a transfer universally. Some offers include one, so use your rate’s written inclusions.

Expedia lists free valet parking, corroborated by Google Hotels; the official pages read do not publish a parking tariff. For a stay centred on the resort, an airport transfer can cover arrival and departure. A car or prearranged driver is useful for independent trips; the hilly grounds and buggy service are separate from having your own car.

Check-in starts at 15:00 and check-out is by 12:00. Subject to availability, late departure until 18:00 costs 50% of the room rate, and later departure a full night; arrange it before relying on a late flight day.

The hotel’s travel guide describes November–May as the drier, sunnier period, with humpback whales offshore December–March. Summer brings greener forest, warmer water and larger surf. Choose November–May for a trip centred on beach and outdoor dining; weather and sea conditions remain variable. The official pages read show no seasonal closure, and the Google Hotels calendar read on 16 October 2026 listed prices in every month from 17 October 2026 to 10 September 2027.

The 2026 programme schedules dinner on 31 December 2026 from 18:30 at Alma, included in the room rate; Carao carries an unpublished supplement. The Jetty Beach Club party starts at 21:00 with à-la-carte charges. The booking terms make the Alma dinner compulsory and included for stays during 16 December 2026–1 January 2027; this does not mean every festive activity is included.

The wedding venues include Jetty Beach Club for 70 outdoors, the jetty for 50 outdoors, and Carao for 40 indoors or 80 poolside. Alma and Salón Papelillo use capacity ranges depending on layout. A general wedding package price is not published on the pages read; a quote depends on the date, layout, catering and room block.

The events page lists Parota for 12 and Salón Papelillo for groups of 60–180 depending on configuration, plus outdoor spaces. Event hire and catering are quoted separately; group offers should not be read as normal public room rates.

Confirm the exact villa, vehicle access and routes to each facility before booking; a step-free route throughout the grounds is not established.
