Semana Santa 2008
Sunday 16 March ~ Sunday 23 March

Dear Friends,

Here comes Semana Santa AGAIN everybody!  We hope that you enjoy (aka survive) your week. We would like to run our Piedras y Olas regulations by you all again so that we aren’t backpedaling through the toughest times of the week - Wednesday through Sunday.

Our Favorite Water Aerobics Guests
Monday, the 17th of March, will be our normal water aerobics class but we’ll need to suspend the Wednesday and Friday classes JUST for this week. Thanks for the understanding on this.

Restaurants, Pools and Towel Use
We welcome you here at our classic La Cascada Bar & Restaurant for breakfasts, lunches and dinners and Bistro La Canoa for breakfasts and lunches.

We will be charging all non-hotel guests for use of the pools a day rate of US $20 for adults and US $10 for children 12 and under and this year we will be limiting pool passes to the first 20 guests of the day. We are sorry but we simply don’t have the room. The hotel towels are your pass to be using the pool so please don’t bring your own towels or lose track of our towels.  If you don’t return the towel we will have to charge in any event. There is now a US $20 fee for lost towels (towels not returned to one of our two cashiers).

We are asking for a piece of identification to secure the towel even though you know we know you. It is tough on the staff to ask them to distinguish among our favorite townees, guests and friends of guests. We know you’ll understand.

As usual, we aren’t allowing any food or drinks from outside the hotel to be consumed in our restaurant or pool areas.  No exceptions.

Pets
Pups will also have to spend Semana Santa off the property. We are having a bit of a problem with our own pet population up here and have had a few BIG complaints. For this week, at least, we’ll have to suspend our canine hospitality.
 
Internet Service
We will be strict about charging for Internet Use as well during this week as we have a lot of folks using internet without paying these days.

Restaurant Hours & Service
We do really appreciate each and every one of you that come to our restaurants. To make sure that you get the service you deserve in a timely manner, we are highly recommending reservations for parties of 6 or more during Semana Santa. As well, if a party is more than twenty minutes late for their reservation, we won’t be able to hold it. Please see this as our effort to insure everyone’s comfort.
