Do I Need to heat the swimming pool ... ?
This is a hard one to call, the pool should be over 21°C (74°F) during the summer months - however in winter, November to March, heating may be required, depending on how warm you like it! 
Don't forget the SHOCK factor, when you are very hot the pool will seem very cold even if it is at say 28°C. 
Our Pool Heating is set to get the pool to 33c (91f) and is turned on 2 days before your arrival if purchased beforehand. 
(The actual temperature attained is weather dependant, therefore the set temperature is not guaranteed, but has a 90% chance of being attained).

Is washing powder provided ... ?
Unfortunately NOT, we would love to leave a starter pack of 'washing' powders/liquids for you, but we have been advised that all CHEMICALS have to be removed between rentals, for safety reasons.... Young children could find them before you do!

Is there a Barbeque at the Villa ... ?
YES & NO, let me explain, we will subsidize the hire of a BBQ if you require one (the charge is USD 3/Day - min 5 Days hire). 
It is gas powered and the gas is included in the hire charge. It is loaned to you by our management company for its rental duration. Consequently it is their property and you sign an agreement with them regarding it's use and clean return. 
We advise you to reserved the BBQ in advance to ensure you get the discounted price and that there is one available for you. Or you could of course just take 'pot luck', but the charge will be $5/Day.
