Accessibility and comfort considerations
If you use mobility aids or prefer extra stability in the shower, plan ahead so you can relax on arrival.
- Bring the aids you typically travel with, such as a preferred non-slip mat or portable comfort items.
- Contact Guest Services in advance to discuss any specific needs and how the team can assist when you arrive.
- Consider shower shoes with textured soles and lightweight, quick-dry items that are easier to manage day to day.
Helpful logistics when coordinating assistance:
- Check-in begins at 4:00 PM, with contactless check-in available. The front desk is staffed 8:30 AM–4:00 PM. If you’ll arrive outside desk hours, send your arrival details in advance so staff can meet and escort you to your unit.
- Check-out is before 11:00 AM. Late check-out is subject to availability and a fee.

Make the most of your space: easy setup ideas
A few small habits keep your bathroom tidy, dry, and guest-ready throughout your stay.
- Go vertical: Use a hanging toiletry bag to keep counters clear and items within reach.
- Decant smartly: Fill travel bottles to about 90% to prevent pressure leaks during flights.
- Air-dry efficiently: Quick-dry washcloths and garments dry well in the Caribbean breeze—your private balcony or patio is ideal for airflow. Always secure items so they don’t blow away.
- Group by routine: Separate morning and evening kits. This reduces rummaging and keeps your routine fast, whether you’re dashing to the beach or winding down after dinner.
