Practical tips for using La Piscine
Bring or request hotel-provided towels and wear appropriate swimwear; the property enforces refined attire policies elsewhere in the hotel, and you should follow any pool-side guidance staff provide. The hotel does not list a separate children's pool.
If you plan to reserve a cabana or book a spa treatment that includes pool access, make arrangements in advance — availability can be limited, and spa reservations are highly encouraged.
- Towels: provided by the hotel (request if needed)
- No separate children's pool on site
- Reserve cabanas and spa treatments ahead of arrival
- Guests under 14 must be supervised at the pool
| Need | Suggestion |

| Cabanas | Book by email/phone to Spa de La Mer |
| Towels/amenities | Ask pool or spa staff |
| Arrival timing | Arrive early for a reserved slot to maximize time |
