THE LOCK-OFF FEATURE

With this week you have the option of booking a regular two bedroom villa or a two bedroom lock-off unit. The lock-off units cost $99 to book so you will have a choice of paying that fee or just booking a regular two bedroom unit and not paying any extra fee.

The lock-off units need to be booked a year in advance to guarantee that you get one because these units are first come first serve. When I booked early I never had a problem getting one. The lock-off unit makes it possible to get two weeks vacation for the price of one.

This allows you to lock-off the villa into two units the first one being the one bedroom side with the full kitchen and laundry fascilities and the second side a Guest Suite that has a kitchenette with a small fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, kitchen counter, cupboards, small sink, and dishes for four. In addition there is a small table to eat at, a sitting area that has a pull out queen sleeper sofa, a television, dvd player, stereo, bathroom, and small furnished balcony. There is no washer and drier in the guest suite. By locking off the unit in this way you can get two weeks holiday instead of one. There is no additional maintenace fee or taxes for doing this just a lock off charge of $99. So you have a choice of using the whole two bedroom villa for one week or locking it off and getting two weeks. Those weeks can be used in consecutive weeks or seperated and used at different times during the platinum season. The platinum season runs from weeks 20 to 52. The week I am selling is deed as a floating platinum week.
