Dear Members,

We are delighted to be able to update you on the following developments at the Resort.

  • We continue our exterior signage around the property and the public areas;
  • We have started a project to improve the entrance of the Resort;
  • We have installed flat screen TV’s and DVD players in the living rooms;
  • There are new curtains in Phase 1. Bedspreads to will follow shortly.
  • In an energy-saving effort, the balcony lights are now on manual control;
  • In air-conditioning news, we are looking to replace the chiller system of Phase 2 with one that is much more energy efficient and we are continuing systematically replacing the blowers, valves and installing digital thermostats in all the suites.  The latter is being done on a priority basis and also when we have rooms vacant;
  • We are now working in # 326 on a solution to the water problems we have mainly in Phase 2.  If it works, we will then do the same in the other affected rooms;
  • For additional shade we have added some more chickees on the pool deck;
  • We have changed the pool / Jacuzzi hours back to a 9 p.m. closure for the privacy of the first floor residents of Phase 2.

Everyone continues to be negatively affected by the effects of the constant increases in utility tariffs and indeed our financial position in relation to our planned capital projects has had to be adjusted. In this regard, we have installed energy-saving bulbs and water saving devices in the faucets throughout the Resort and we ask your assistance as well.  As a responsible Resort, we are also working with a local private Company to involve ourselves in recycling activity on the island.

Reminders:

  • The due date for receipt of your maintenance fee at the Resort is December 31. Please make sure that you pay on time to avoid late payment penalties and also to ensure the continued financial health of the Resort.
  • If you are interested in acquiring more fixed weeks, please contact Bianca Ali for more information.
  • It is your responsibility to advise the Member Relations department in writing of your change of address and proof of an acknowledgement is required.
  • Please verify the dates of the weeks with our calendar. Please visit our website www.paradisebeachvillas-aruba.com for further information.
  • If you plan not to use your week, please advise the Resort so we can schedule maintenance in the suite.

No-smoking policy:

We ask you to comply with our non-smoking policy and kindly request that you do not smoke in the suites but only on the patios and in the public areas. Violators will be fined $250.

Thank you so much for your continued support and we look forward to welcoming you the Resort so that you can have a first-hand experience of the changes being made.  Meanwhile we will keep on updating you periodically on any significant Resort developments.
