Tips on tipping: Our staff strive to give you the best service and they greatly appreciate tipping, since this is a major part of their income. The average tip at restaurants is 15% – 20%. We do not include the tip on your bill, except for groups of six or more people. Bell staff are generally tipped $1 for each bag. For maid service, we recommend around $2 per day, per room and more for condos and villas. When possible, please give the tip to the maid or maids directly.

Bracelets: The use of the bracelet will easily identify you with the attendant and with our security guards who are required to monitor the property.
Valuables: We strongly recommend you leave your valuables in your in room safe. Petty theft has been known to happen on the beach since it is open to the public and hard to patrol the entire area.
Beach Towels: If you need a beach towel, you may go to the front desk and leave a deposit per towel. Please don’t take bath towels from your room to the beach to avoid a fee.
Beach Chairs: Please show your room key or bracelet to the attendant on the beach. If the attendant is not there, please be patient. He is probably taking chairs to someone else.
Security Boxes: Please use the security boxes in each room. We are not responsible for any missing items in your room. It is also your responsibility to lock your doors and windows when not in your room.

These are unfortunately beyond our control. In the event of a power failure, please follow the procedures below. Please turn off the fan and the air conditioner.
