Séptimo and other seventh-floor venues maintain a smart-casual dress code for evening service; overly casual beachwear or sportswear may be discouraged in rooftop bars — check specific venue guidance with the concierge.

Tips for families and guests staying in specific rooms
Families: the Kids Pool is gated and includes kid-sized cabanas and games; bring sunscreen and a change of clothes because children’s pool areas are shallow and intended for play rather than extended swimming laps.
Guests staying in rooms like Premier Room (Bayfront), Premier Room (Cityscape) or Suite (Bayfront Corner) will have easy elevator access to the seventh floor; ask the front desk about towel service and pool-side delivery options from Bahía.
- Arrive early on busy weekends for the best loungers and to view available cabanas
- Confirm towel policy — the hotel provides pool towels but confirm with staff
- Order poolside food from Bahía during its posted hours (daily 11:00 am–5:00 pm; Fri–Sat extended service to 10:00 pm)
- If you need quiet, ask about quieter times to use the terrace (weekday mornings tend to be less busy)
| Room | Pool access tip |
|---|---|
| Premier Room (Bayfront) | Close elevator access to rooftop venues; request bay-view times for sunset |
| Suite (Bayfront Corner) | Larger rooms for families; ask concierge about cabana reservations |
| Grand Suite (Cityscape Corner) | Good city views; check with staff for preferred terrace access routes |
