Practical tips: bookings, meals, and confirming services
This is not an all‑inclusive resort — meals and drinks are paid per venue. The property has 12 on‑site restaurants and bars (for example, Ario, Tesoro, Quinn's on the Beach, Maia, Mosaico and Kane Tiki Bar & Grill) with varying hours and dress codes; confirm hours and reservation requirements before you arrive.
Because supervised childcare and children’s club activities carry a surcharge and schedules can change, contact the resort directly to confirm availability, hours, age limits and pricing. Also check with the resort if you plan to mix Sirene and main‑resort bookings, since access rules differ by room type.
- Contact the resort to confirm supervised childcare details and children's club schedule.
- Meals are not included in room rates; check hours and reservation policies for specific restaurants.
- Verify pool hours, cabana availability and any age/height rules for the waterslide before arrival.
| What to call or confirm | Why |
|---|---|
| Children’s club / supervised childcare | Age ranges, hours, staff ratios, surcharge |
| Paradise by Sirene access/perks | Confirm which perks apply to Sirene guests and start times for beach access |
| Dining hours & reservations | Plan for meals — this property is not all‑inclusive |
