If you plan to host a private event on the pool terrace, contact the hotel’s events or sales team to confirm availability, food-and-beverage options, rental fees and any restrictions that apply to pool use during private functions.
- Pool Terrace Venue is used for receptions and corporate events; availability can limit guest access to the deck
- Event bookings should be coordinated with the hotel's events team to confirm capacity and set-up
- Ask about timing, noise policies and whether pool access will remain open to other guests

Practical tips for enjoying the pools and rooftop deck
Arrive early at the rooftop deck on busy summer or high-season days to secure loungers or a shaded cabana. If you want guaranteed shaded space, ask the front desk about reserving a cabana or special set-up for your stay.
Check with the front desk about any poolside service menus, happy-hour times at the Rooftop Bar (hours vary), and whether the deck will be closed for private events on days you plan to use it.
- Bring sunscreen and a hat; Florida sun can be strong even on cloudy days
- If you have a late flight or cruise, confirm pool access times on check-out day — pools sometimes close earlier for cleaning or events
- If you need towel or pool-service replacements, speak with pool attendants rather than leaving a chair unattended
| Question | Who to ask |
|---|---|
| Exact pool hours or temporary closures | Front desk / concierge |
| Cabanas and private bookings | Events or sales team |
