TL;DR
Travelers report that children from about 1.6 to 10 years old usually use hotel pools and kids’ facilities without problems, although teens may occasionally be asked their age. In late July, pool sunbeds can fill up early, with guests reserving them in the morning using towels.
In late July, family resort pools can run short of sunbeds: guests often reserve them right after breakfast by leaving towels and walking away. If you only come to the pool around 10:00–11:00 after the beach, there may be almost no free loungers left.
According to travelers, children aged 1.6, 6, 7, and 10 used the pool without issues, ate at the fast-food area, and spent time in the kids’ club. For toddlers, parents still need to supervise closely and avoid diving.
Rules may be applied more strictly to teenagers: one traveler reported that a pool security guard specifically asked a 17-year-old guest about his age. If your child is close to 18, be prepared for possible extra questions from staff.
