“Is there an ‘Adults-Only’ policy for the pool area?”
El Oceano is an adult-oriented hotel and the Polynesian Pool area is designed for an adult atmosphere of relaxation and “Awesome Afternoons.” For this reason, the pool, VIP sunbeds, and immediate terrace areas are not suitable for children. We thank you for your understanding in helping us maintain this tranquil environment.
The Atmosphere of El Oceano
At El Oceano Beach Hotel, we pride ourselves on providing a tranquil, sophisticated sanctuary for our guests. Our pool area and the famous Polynesian Pool are designed as a retreat—a place where you can escape the noise of the outside world and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Mediterranean.
To maintain this specific environment of relaxation and “laid-back luxury,” we do operate a general policy that leans towards an adult-oriented experience, particularly in the pool and VIP sunbed areas.
A Boutique Adult-Oriented Experience
While El Oceano is not strictly “Adults-Only” in the clinical sense of some larger resort chains, our facilities, entertainment, and restaurant atmosphere are curated specifically for adults. Because our Polynesian Pool features a swim-up bar and is the focal point for our “Awesome Afternoons” and live DJ sessions, the environment is generally unsuitable for children and young families.
For the comfort and enjoyment of all our guests, we politely request that the pool area remains a space for adults. This allows our visitors to enjoy the chilled lounge music, professional cocktail service, and the quiet serenity of the water’s edge without the typical splashes and noise associated with family-style pools.
The “Cool & Crisp” Vibe
Most of our guests visit us for a romantic getaway, a sophisticated celebration, or a relaxing afternoon on a VIP Sunbed. By maintaining an adult-friendly policy at the pool, we ensure that the “El Oceano experience” remains consistent. Whether you are sipping a chilled bottle of Moët & Chandon on your bed or enjoying a midday dip in the heated waters, you can be assured of a calm, mature, and elegant atmosphere.
The Restaurant and Hotel
This philosophy extends throughout the hotel. While we welcome well-behaved children in our restaurant during our lunch and dinner services, the overall “vibe” of El Oceano is one of adult sophistication. Our evening entertainment, gala dinners, and cocktail nights are designed with an adult audience in mind, featuring world-class singers, musicians, and performers.
Why We Maintain This Policy
The Costa del Sol has many wonderful facilities designed specifically for families and children. At El Oceano, we have chosen to offer something different—a boutique “niche” for those seeking a more refined, quiet, and exclusive experience. We find that our guests—including those who are parents themselves—deeply appreciate having a dedicated space where they can relax, recharge, and enjoy the finer things in life in a peaceful setting.
Booking Your Stay
If you have any specific questions regarding our policies or wish to discuss a booking for a teenager or young adult, our reception team is always happy to help. We want every guest who walks through our doors to feel special, and ensuring that our atmosphere meets your expectations is our primary goal.
Experience the ultimate in Mediterranean luxury. Experience El Oceano.
