Special Requests

Please contact the front desk to place special requests up to 24 hours in advance of your arrival. The resort will make every effort to fulfill your requests, but requests are subject to availability and therefore not guaranteed. Rollaway beds, cribs and other special request items are limited in supply and are fulfilled on first-come, first-served basis. Charges apply for some special request items. Rollaway beds are limited to 1 per villa, offered for ground floor villas only in the Hillside phase, and are not available in the studio villa due to space limitations.

Unforeseen events or circumstances beyond our control may result in last-minute changes. As a result, villa assignment or special requests will only be confirmed during the check-in process.

Changes to the arrival or departure date or to villa type will result in a loss of priority for fulfilling special requests.
