This is a natural part of the island environment.<br /><br />To minimize this as much as possible, the building conducts regular, property-wide pest control treatments. In addition, our team schedules routine preventative treatments within the unit to maintain a clean and comfortable space for our guests.<br /><br />Please note that during your stay, there may be scheduled visits by licensed pest control vendors as part of the building’s ongoing maintenance program.
