Match the bed to your child’s sleep stage
Infants (0–12 months)
- Choose a crib for safe, familiar sleep. Pack your preferred lightweight sleep sack and a fitted crib sheet if you like your own linens.
- Suites or villas help you keep bottles, snacks, and nighttime feeds organized.
Toddlers (1–3 years)
- A crib may still be the best contained sleep setup. For toddlers transitioning out of a crib, request a rollaway.
- Consider a 1‑bedroom suite so you can keep to bedtime in a separate, darker room while adults relax in the living area.
Preschoolers and older kids
- Rollaway beds offer everyone personal space and reduce the “who stole my pillow” effect.
- Two‑bedroom suites or villas make room for siblings and earlier bedtimes without lights‑out for the whole family.
Build a sleep‑friendly routine on arrival
Use these simple steps to create calm, consistent nights from day one.
- Set up sleep zones first
- Ask the team to place the crib/rollaway where you prefer. Then darken the room and cue bedtime.
- Anchor bedtime with familiar cues
- Pack a favorite book, small plush, or nightlight to signal “sleep time” in a new space.
- Time beach and pool sessions
- Four pools—including a shallow kids’ pool—make it easy to plan late‑afternoon swims that won’t over‑stimulate before bed.
- Keep the kitchen stocked
- With full kitchens (suites/villas) and complimentary pre‑arrival grocery stocking, you can set up milk, fruit, and simple breakfasts that align with home routines.
- Plan a parents’ breather
- Schedule a spa treatment while a partner handles naps, or book babysitting (surcharge) for a dinner at Sugar Apple Café.
