When the pool is open — seasons and best months
The outdoor pool is seasonal and usually opens from mid‑March through mid‑October, weather permitting. Exact opening and closing dates can vary year to year, so check with the hotel before you travel.
Biloxi’s most comfortable outdoor weather for pool use is generally in spring (early April–mid‑May) and fall (late September–early November). Summer is hot and humid with a higher chance of afternoon storms; hurricane season runs June through November, which can affect pool operations.
- Typical pool season: mid‑March to mid‑October (subject to weather).
- Best mild-weather windows: early April–mid May and late September–early November.
- Peak summer: hot, humid, and more likely to have afternoon storms; monitor forecasts during June–November.
| Season | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Spring (Mar–May) | Warm days, pleasant evenings; good pool weather |
| Summer (Jun–Aug) | Hot and humid; afternoon storms possible |
| Fall (Sep–Oct) | Warm, often less crowded; weather more stable |

Cabanas, reservations and practical renting tips
Private cabanas are available on the pool deck and can be rented for full or half days. The property lists cabanas as rentable; specific rates and availability are not published here, so call the hotel or ask the pool deck staff to reserve one.
Reserve cabanas early in the season and on holiday weekends — the pool and cabanas are seasonal and can fill quickly on peak days. Quench is the poolside dining outlet; it serves creative salads, sandwiches and frozen beverages during the pool season for registered guests.
When you rent a cabana, confirm what’s included (seating, towels, food and beverage service options, and maximum guests per cabana). The property notes Quench serves registered guests with a maximum of four registered guests per room for poolside services in some listings — verify current limits at check‑in.
- Reserve cabanas early — availability and rates change seasonally.
- Ask what’s included: towels, seating, shade, service, and guest limits.
- Confirm how Quench accepts orders at the cabana (menu and hours vary seasonally).

Safety, what to pack and arrival tips

- Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a cover‑up for public areas.
