Practical tips: payment, dietary needs and timing
Major credit and debit cards are accepted across hotel dining outlets. The hotel requires a credit card on file at check-in for incidentals even if you prefer to pay cash at check-out.
If you have allergies or dietary restrictions, tell your server when ordering; full-service restaurants can usually accommodate requests but confirm with staff on arrival.
To avoid peak times visit early for breakfast or mid-afternoon for lunch. For poolside dining, bring a towel and expect casual/partial swimwear attire at Bula Bar & Grille.
- Credit cards widely accepted; a credit card is required at check-in for incidentals
- Notify servers about allergies — restaurants will advise on safe choices
- Arrive early or reserve to avoid busy dinner windows, especially during park season
