SURF RANCH · DAY PASS

A family pool day in San Juan del Sur

Pick a poolside spot, let the kids explore the splash pad and use your day-pass credit for lunch together.

Plan your family outing

Relaxing on an inflatable in the pool

1. Look for area 13

It sits beside the splash pad. Enter your date and the number of adults and kids. The map shows which spaces are available that day.

2. Start at the splash pad

Start with the fountains and the bucket that tips roughly every four minutes. An accompanying adult must supervise children.

FAMILY BUDGET

How much for a family of four?

Two adults and two children aged 2–12 pay US$50. Each guest aged 13 or older pays US$15, and each child aged 2–12 pays US$10. Children under 2 are free.

The entire US$50 becomes food and drink credit in córdobas. Your confirmation shows the exchange rate. Menu prices, tax and service apply to orders. Pay any extra at the resort. Unused credit expires that day and is nonrefundable.

Choose a poolside space

After lunch

Head back to the waterslide, bring your board for the skatepark or gather the family for volleyball. The climbing wall costs extra. Check prices and arrange a session with the resort team.

Staying overnight? Compare condos and villas for families.

Which day-pass setup fits your group?

Start with how many people need seats and where the kids want to spend their time. These examples use the published day-pass age bands.

Children’s splash pad and water-play area

One adult, one 6-year-old and a baby

The prepayment is US$25. Count the baby in the under-2 field even though there is no charge. If your main stop is the water playground, check area 13 first. The accompanying adult should stay with the children around water.

Garden walkway through the resort

Two families arriving together

For four adults, three children aged 2–12 and one 13-year-old, enter five adults and three children. The total is US$105 in consumption credit. Larger cabanas seat roughly 10–12, and the map also lets you combine available spaces.

Bar de la piscina

Lunch without reserving a space

Pool access is free for bar and restaurant customers. If having a specific space matters to your family, reserve a day pass ahead. The chosen spot is only confirmed after payment verification.

What to budget beyond the pass

The waterslide, skatepark and volleyball are included. If an adult and a child want to try the climbing wall, budget US$10 for the adult and US$5 for the child, plus tax. Arrange the session with the resort team.

For lunch, compare the check in córdobas with the credit on your tab. For example, if your credit is C$1,800 and your final food and drink bill including taxes and service is C$2,100, you pay the C$300 difference. Those figures illustrate the calculation. Your confirmation gives your actual credit.

Change the date before choosing seats

If you check Saturday and then switch to Sunday, the booking form asks you to choose spaces again. A cabana available on Saturday may already be reserved on Sunday. Enter the new date first, then count everyone under the correct age bands and review the new map.

If two families want separate tables, look at both spaces before paying. The selected seats are held temporarily during payment. Wait for payment confirmation before telling both families where to meet.

Your spot is confirmed once payment is verified
