House Safety and Security
The stone and marble floors become very slippery when wet, please take extra care when walking on them, it is
advised to wear rubber soled footwear as the best prevention against slipping.
You will be required to sign a waiver form before participating in any water activities.
Please be vigilant at all times with very young children around the house, swimming pool, steps to the sea, garden &
woods area. We do not provide a supervisor to look after your children. Life jackets are provided and are essential if
you enter the sea.
Please take care to regularly use sun screen throughout the day to protect skin. Also ensure that you provide a
continuous supply of liquid refreshment for children and adults alike. Consuming excessive quantities of alcohol in
the sun will dehydrate the body. Please do not go swimming and kayaking in the sea if you have consumed alcohol
that day.
Swimming Pool & Seaside Rules
Jumping from the veranda into the pool is not allowed.
Please do not sit on the concrete balcony by
the pool overlooking the Caribbean sea.

Ideas For You
Should you be interested in Photography, Astronomy or
Ornithology - Remember to bring binoculars and a camera,
although amateur binoculars and a telescope are available for your
use.
On clear evenings astronomers may ask for the house lights to be
temporarily switched off, sit outside on the loungers and look up
...(with binoculars or telescope & mosquito repellent).
Keep an eye out at night for Fireflys, which are more clearly seen
in the woods area and away from electric lights.
