If you need rollaways, cribs, or pet-friendly policies, request them at booking; rollaway and pet fees are documented in the property details and third-party listings.
- Check-in / check-out: standard times are 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out (early/late requests possible subject to availability).

- Parking: both valet and self-parking are available for a nightly fee (amounts vary by listing).
- Pools: two heated outdoor pools (one adults-only and one all-ages) plus three Jacuzzis are on the property.
| Need | What to ask for |
|---|---|
| Beachfront / Gulf view | Request a 'Beachfront' or 'Palm Tower' beachfront room in the room title |
| Kitchenette | Book 'Room, Kitchenette' or a Suite/Studio Suite that lists a kitchenette |
| High-floor views and dining access | Choose Palm Tower or Tower Studio/Suite options near the 8th-floor restaurant |
