Swimming pool

If the client(s) are unable to use the swimming pool in the villa due to repair or maintenance for a period in excess of seven days there will be a refund made of 5% of the weekly rental charge for each day the pool is unusable. No refunds will apply for periods of less than seven days. The owners and agents do not accept any liability for injury howsoever caused during the use of the pool and its surrounds. Children should not be permitted to use the pool unsupervised. Under the terms of the Florida state hotel/motel license, the pool door is alarmed for the protection of children and as a reminder to keep the door closed for the air conditioning to work efficiently. Tampering with this alarm will incur a fine. Pool heating, if required, can be requested at the time of booking and must be paid for with the final balance. Pool temperature cannot be guaranteed as this is subject to prevailing weather conditions. Many people assume that the cages over most of the pools are fitted with glass like a huge conservatory. The cage is actually fitted with a fine nylon mesh that reduces the amount of harmful UV rays you're subjected to and helps keep bugs and dust out of the water. Take care with the screen as it is fairly delicate and the mesh can be torn relatively easily.

Pool heating

Pool heating is chargeable extra and can be requested at time of booking or at resort via our management company. The current charges are £90 / $150 per week or £15 / $25 per day.
