In this guide
Who can check in
The hotel requires the primary guest checking in to be at least 18 years old. A valid government-issued photo ID and credit card are required at check-in, and the hotel keeps a credit card authorization or cash deposit for incidentals.
Booking sites show one conflicting source listing minimum check-in age as 21, but most official and booking records list 18 as the minimum. If you have any doubt, confirm the minimum age with the resort before arrival.
- Minimum check-in age: 18 (most sources).
- ID and credit card required at check-in.
- Typical incidental hold: authorization or cash deposit (about $100 per night as listed by booking sources).
| Requirement | What to bring |

| Payment for incidentals | Credit card (or cash deposit) |

Who counts as an adult vs. a child
Caribe Royale charges guests aged 18 and above at adult rates. Children of all ages are welcome to stay as part of a family reservation, but anyone 18 or older is considered an adult for pricing.
If you’re booking for a group with younger adults (18–20), expect them to be charged as adults. For multi-generational travel, reserve the appropriate number of adult and child guests to avoid surprises at check-in.
- Children of any age may stay on the property.
- Guests 18+ are charged as adults.
- Confirm room occupancy limits for specific room types (listed with each room when booking).
| Age | Charges |
|---|---|
| 0–17 | Child pricing (when applicable) |
| 18+ | Adult rate |
