Thank you so much! That balcony really is the best seat on the island — sunrise coffee on one end, sunset toast on the other. We're so glad you enjoyed the pools and that everything felt clean and comfortable for your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we'd love to have you back anytime!

Hi Melissa, I’m so glad you had a great stay! I’m so sorry that happened. To clarify, we do provide bath towels for the both bathrooms and a laundry center to wash and dry as needed. It seems there was a miscommunication with my cleaning crew and the 2nd bathroom was missed your stay. If anything should happen like that in the future, please contact your owner or manager so that they can make sure you have everything you need. Sometimes mishaps happen but we are available to make it right. You are no bother ;) We hope you will come again and thanks for being a great guest!
