As we approach the end of another successful year, on behalf of the Board of Directors, management and staff, we would like to thank you for your continued support. During the course of the year, below is a list of the projects we were able to complete: -In Phase 1, the room renovation project is complete including the indoor hallways and stairwells, a new elevator and the replacement of the pool filters. -In the public areas, we redid the public bathrooms, the staff locker rooms, beautified the new Towel Hut and the surrounding area, completed the landscaping to the south of the Phase 2 pool with a shuffle board court and we built a brand new shaded BBQ area with two (2) grills. -The penthouse - # 425 - and the Administrative offices have been completely renovated and the Member Relations office is now conveniently located in the lobby. -In Food and Beverage, we have replaced some kitchen equipment, changed the dining room and bar furniture and a new Food and Beverage office is being built closer to the Tiki bar and Restaurant.
General upgrades include more fire extinguishers for greater safety, new lobby furniture, reupholstered cushions for all the counter stools and the dining room furniture and the air-conditioning system is being systematically revamped by changing the blowers, valves and installing new digital thermostats. Because of the nature of the work involved, this project is being done based on room availability For the coming year, we plan to continue the renovations based on the financial state of the Resort with the emphasis on the interior of the suites.

Non-smoking policy Smoking is only permitted on the room patios and in the open air. The odor of smoke gets into all areas of the suite - including the fabrics - creating an unhealthy environment for other occupants of the suites and the staff and we kindly ask for you cooperation in this regard. Season’s greetings We wish you a very blessed Holiday Season and look forward to seeing you in the New Year which we trust will be filled with lots of Good Health and positive experiences. |
