GETTING AROUND the Palm Beach area

You can use the bus service - and it is pretty good if you just want to go into the city for some shopping or just to walk around, but you'll miss out on some great exploring of the island if you don't rent a car. There are several car rental companies in the Palm Beach area and they are quite reasonable. There are also a number of bike hire companies on the island and you will generally find them good value and easy-going. You will find further information online and, after you arrive, our concierge service at the main desk will be happy to help you.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

IMPORTANT : Sometimes, for operational or emergency repair / maintenance reasons we may need to change the condo that has been booked to a different, but similar, condo. We guarantee that the replacement condo will be the same type (e.g. 1 or 2 bedroom) and, if possible, on the same floor. There will be no extra charge, and don't worry, it rarely happens, and all our apartments are of the same 5-star standard...!

.

Please remember this stay is an 'AirBnB' type booking with not frequent cleaning or change of bed linen. We will charge only the departure cleaning. If you require interim cleaning and bed linen / towel changes then an additional charge of $45 per instance is payable directly to the maintenance company at the resort. This is an option, of course, and is not mandatory!
