Beach access, poolside dining and supervision tips

For families, the beach and pool areas are appealing but require standard supervision. Lifeguard availability is not stated in the property materials provided here — assume guardians should watch children at water’s edge and at the pool unless the resort confirms lifeguard coverage.
