The Glamping experience is wonderful for families! When children visit a hotel that focuses on providing peace and tranquility to its adult guests, it is important for children to behave in a respectful and considerate manner.

Children over 6 years old are welcome under the supervision of parents or guardians and pay an adult fee. Children under 6 years old may be considered for stays on a case-by-case basis.
Rooms that accommodate children are Belvedere House and La Casa del Artista. The glamping tents are elevated platforms that also accommodate children with extra attention from parents.
Children are not allowed in the Palms Room and the Birds Room (in the Main Villa). The goal is for children to be aware of their surroundings and respect the need for peace and relaxation of adult guests at the hotel.
