10. Private homes with
pools
have weekly maintenance carried out by a qualified and licensed pool company.
Due to the tropical nature of our Island it is not unusual to find unexpected
debris in the pool falling from trees & surrounding vegetation, especially
when there is a breeze or rain showers. If you wish to arrange for
additional pool service, this can b e scheduled with the pool company for a $30
cash payment due from guest at time additional pool service is completed. 80
is the highest heat temperature setting. During the winter months pool temperatures
will probably stay around 75. If several cold days occur, water temperatures
will drop and may stay cooler longer. Pool heaters will not operate and will
automatically shut down if outside temperatures get too cold (below 60).
There will be days when the weather conditions will not allow pool heaters to
accommodate swimming and temperature recovery times will vary. While we take
every precaution to ensure that pools are heated as specified, weather
conditions may affect the temperature of the pool and spa. Outdoor spas are
not hot tubs. Spa temperatures are set at the same temperature as the pool. AMGCR
is not responsible for pool/spa closures or malfunctions. No credit, discount
and/or rate adjustments can be granted for circumstances beyond our control.
