Dining with kids and reservations
Dining venues include Auro (Michelin-starred fine dining, dinner service Wed–Sat), TRUSS Restaurant + Bar (all-day brasserie-style dining) and Campo Poolside (open-air poolside lunch). TRUSS is the most family-friendly for breakfast, lunch and casual dinner; Campo Poolside serves poolside lunches; Auro is fine-dining with a recommended dress code and is less casual for young children.

Rooms, villas and practical family tips
The property offers a range of guest rooms, one- and two- bedroom suites and multi-bedroom villas; several villa configurations list private pools or hot tubs. Villas and larger suites are practical choices for families who want separate bedrooms and living space.
Before you travel, confirm bed configurations for the exact room type you reserve (many Room and Suite names offer King or Double bed options). Also check which villa types include a private pool or hot tub if that is important to your stay.
- Confirm exact room type and bed setup when booking (many Room types list King Bed or 2 Double Beds options).
- Select villas (two-, three- and four-bedroom options) may include private pools or hot tubs.
- Ask the front desk or Reservations about rollaway beds, child-proofing, or connecting rooms if you need them.
| Need | What to check |
