Renegades & Room Parties

Room parties, renegades, DJ setups and unauthorized sound systems are not permitted outside the designated Renegade Row area or outside these hours. Security will enforce this policy throughout the weekend.

Please be respectful of guests staying in other areas of the hotel.

Pool & Florida Weather

With a hotel full of Freaks, towels go quickly, so please bring your own pool towel if possible. This helps reduce demand on hotel housekeeping and makes things easier for everyone.

Florida is hot. Bring sunscreen, stay hydrated and take care of yourself throughout the weekend.

Hydration options will be available during the event.

Security & Event Access

Hotel staff, event security and Essential Freaks event organizers will be present throughout the weekend.

If you see something that doesn't look right, notify a member of security, hotel staff or the Essential Freaks team. Your safety is our priority, so let's work together to keep everyone safe.

Please enter the hotel and event through the designated main entrance near the hotel front desk unless event staff directs you otherwise.

Other entrances may be locked, monitored or restricted during the event. Please do not attempt to enter through unauthorized areas.

Your wristband is your event credential and must remain on for the duration of the event. Do not remove or transfer your wristband. Anyone in an event area without the appropriate wristband may be required to leave or purchase admission.

Guests and their belongings may also be subject to security screening as permitted by event and hotel policy.
