Choose a room for naps, plan meals around your child’s routine and check how the day-pass age bands work at Surf Ranch.

A nap in the room you actually reserved

A condo sleeps four on two queen beds in one room. A villa gives the family two bedrooms, useful if one adult stays with a sleeping child and the rest of the family wants a separate space. Check the actual room layout before paying.

Check-in starts at 2 pm. For a child who usually sleeps earlier, ask reception on arrival day about early access. If you need a crib, high chair or a particular bed arrangement, ask about that specific item for your dates before building the routine around it.

Meals before and after the nap

Breakfast is included with a direct room booking. The breakfast menu lists pancakes with syrup and fruit, and a Nicaraguan plate with eggs, rice and beans, tortilla, plantain and fruit. Choose what works for your child and ask the team about ingredients or preparation before ordering.

For a family that plans to spend the middle of the day in the room, look at lunch choices before the morning swim. With a food allergy, give the kitchen the ingredient and ask what it can prepare. Confirm any child meal-plan price with the child’s age and the dates of the stay.

The difference between age one and age two

For a day visit, under-twos are free but still count for seating. From the second birthday through age 12, the child day pass is US$10. Two adults and an 18-month-old prepay US$30. Two adults and a two-year-old prepay US$40. Both amounts become food and drink credit for the visit date.

At the splash pad, an adult must supervise. Agree who stays with the child before another adult orders lunch or takes an older sibling to another activity. If you are staying overnight, use the room booking for the stay and compare day-pass seating separately if you have visitors joining.
