Age and kids policy: who’s allowed where and when
Carillon Miami Wellness Resort is an all-ages property that welcomes children in guest rooms but maintains adults-only spaces (notably the rooftop Atlantic Pool). The primary guest checking in is generally listed as age 21 by major booking sites (some sources conflict), and the spa's Thermal Experience Circuit and treatment rooms require guests to be at least 16.

Who can check in?
